# Samsung in talks for up to €1B stake in Mistral

*2026-07-22 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/samsung-deepens-its-ai-empire-with-a-potential-billion-euro-stake-in-europes-hottest-ai-startup/)*

Samsung is reportedly in talks to invest up to one billion euros in French AI startup Mistral. The deal would value Mistral at around 20 billion euros.

**Why it matters:** This follows Microsoft's recent deal to expand GPU capacity for Mistral in Europe, underscoring how Mistral has become a focal point for both cloud/compute partners and hardware makers seeking a stake in Europe's leading sovereign AI lab. A Samsung investment also raises the possibility of deeper hardware integration, such as Mistral models built into Samsung devices.
