The company aims to grow its compute capabilities, which lag far behind the data center capacity of its American competitors. At the same time, Mistral is competing with Chinese companies whose open-weight models often lead rankings. All this, plus more about planes, ships, and even AGI, in the article:

NEW: I chatted with the team at Mistral, Europe's leading AI company, to learn how it aims to conquer enterprise AI and turbocharge its business in America.

The company's focus on customizable and light-weight models might quickly pay off, as American companies reckon with soaring AI costs. @NBCNews learned that Mistral already has customers among America's top 5 banks and top 5 asset managers worldwide.

BREAKING: Illinois legislature passes first-of-its-kind bill requiring leading AI companies to undergo third-party audits for safety issues. SB315 goes beyond existing legislation from CA and NY and will head to gov's desk. I spoke with sponsor Rep. Didech to hear more (below).

NEW: I'm always excited about METR's work—we (and the world economy) all know and love their time-horizon chart, but their new report on rogue deployments of AI agents is fascinating. Everyone should read it, and I wrote about it here.

More articles on this new technology are in the works...reach out on Signal or email if you have thoughts or are affected. Many thanks to the @NBCNews team, and more to come! https://t.co/RrLsBh2fYG

NEW: Odds are your doctor (yes, your doctor) is using a new AI tool. OpenEvidence, a chatbot for medical providers, has quietly taken the US healthcare industry by storm. 650k doctors in the US are using it every month, according to @EvidenceOpen...🧵

[Jared Perlo @_perloj]

Bottom line: Doctors/nurses/pharmacists are embracing it, even as research + guidance lags. Your health might be (or likely is being?) impacted.

@juliecbarrett @sjgadler @_NathanCalvin Just chiming in here to say I definitely didn’t write anything about that. Looks like an AI hallucination (or bad-faith AI-produced messaging ) to me…bummer

AI has superhuman powers to track, sift through, and analyze your behavior. A growing chorus of lawmakers is worried the government might use these new capabilities in their (well-known and existing) surveillance of Americans and some of their electronic communications.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

In retrospect, this was quite prescient

A fun one, with @_perloj: How a federal judge in Texas is using artificial intelligence to deal with his caseload

I talked to a federal judge who called himself a geek, and thinks his clerks decades younger than he are much less-tech savvy.
