Samsung Electronics partnered with French firm Mistral AI to develop specialized semiconductor AI models. The collaboration integrates Mistral’s large language models into Samsung’s semiconductor operations to increase precision.
The initiative builds on-premises AI systems to analyze data while keeping sensitive information secure. These tools will optimize manufacturing processes and improve defect detection.
Samsung led a €3 billion ($3.5 billion) Series D funding round for Mistral AI. This investment secures a strategic equity stake for the South Korean electronics giant.
Officials announced the deal during a state summit between South Korea and France. The partnership aims to accelerate development cycles and improve yields for advanced memory and logic chips.
