Samsung and Mistral AI Sign Partnership to Apply AI to Chip Production

Samsung Electronics and French AI developer Mistral AI signed an MOU at the Elysee Palace, witnessed by President Lee Jae-myung and President Macron, under which Samsung is set to lead roughly €3 billion (~₩4.68 trillion) in investment and raise its stake in Mistral. Samsung plans to deploy Mistral's AI technology across its chip manufacturing floors to improve yields and process efficiency, particularly for sub-2-nanometer node production, part of a broader Korea-France 'advanced industries' alliance struck during Lee's state visit.
