At the Mistral AI NOW Summit, VAST Data announced a partnership with Mistral AI and Mistral Compute to deploy NVIDIA-accelerated AI factories in Europe, centered on the GB300 NVL72 architecture (Source 1). The collaboration integrates NVIDIA compute, Mistral's frontier models, and VAST's AI Operating System as the unified data platform. Mistral Compute, an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, will operate the infrastructure as part of its AI cloud platform. This deployment represents one of the highest-density concentrations of GB300 NVL72 in Europe. Additionally, VAST DataSpace enables Mistral teams to operate across multiple cloud environments with a unified namespace. Mistral's website confirms the company offers dedicated GPU clusters and deployment services (Source 2). The partnership strengthens Mistral's compute capacity for training and inference, supporting European AI sovereignty. The addition of GB300 NVL72 infrastructure extends Mistral Compute's AI factory operations, positioning the company for larger-scale deployments.
