Mistral released OCR 4, returning bounding boxes, block-type classifications and per-page and per-word confidence alongside text extraction. It supports 170 languages and single-container self-hosting. Independent annotators preferred OCR 4 on average 72% of the time in blind evaluations of over 600 documents. It scored 85.20 on OlmOCRBench and 93.07 on OmniDocBench, though Mistral warns both benchmarks have known scoring limitations.
With Google's support, UC San Diego plans a data centre using motherboards from 2,000 retired Pixel phones to provide low-cost, low-carbon cloud computing for hundreds of students and faculty. SPEC benchmarks show 25–50 phones roughly equal one modern server. Phones form Kubernetes-managed clusters of 25–50 devices, with launch expected in autumn 2026.
Google DeepMind released experimental open-source model DiffusionGemma, generating text blocks in parallel through text diffusion and achieving up to 4 times faster inference on dedicated GPUs.
Mistral released an AI stack for industrial engineering at AI Now Summit 2026, partnering with Airbus, BMW and ASML to optimise design, simulation and production while retaining control over proprietary data and IP.
Google combined a new single-message encrypted aggregation protocol with TEEs, letting devices submit without multiple online rounds. Google receives only anonymised group insights; raw data is neither exposed nor reconstructed even within hardware protection. TEE attestation proves execution follows public code.
After incorporating Emmi AI, Mistral launched physical AI capabilities for AI-native industrial engineering with partners including ASML, Airbus, Safran and Siemens Energy. The model predicts physical fields directly from geometry and boundary conditions in seconds through one forward pass on a single GPU, versus hours to weeks per design variant in traditional CFD/FEM. It accelerates design iteration while retaining traditional solvers for validation and edge cases.
Mistral AI signed a definitive agreement this week to acquire Physics AI pioneer Emmi AI, strengthening its AI transformation services for industrial companies. Founded in Austria, Emmi AI has over 30 researchers and engineers focusing on large engineering models that replace days of computation with real-time simulation and build digital twins. Its co-founders and team will join Mistral's Science and Applied AI teams in May.
Mistral released Connectors in Studio. Built-in connectors and custom MCP are available through API/SDK for all model and agent calls, currently in public preview.
Google announced the expansion of content transparency and verification tools to Search, Gemini, Chrome, Pixel and Cloud. SynthID has watermarked over 100 billion images and videos and 60,000 years of audio. SynthID verification in the Gemini app has been used 50 million times and will reach Search and Chrome in the coming weeks.
Berkeley AI Research reviews parallel reasoning, focusing on models deciding when to decompose and parallelise independent subtasks, how many threads to generate and how to coordinate. Existing approaches including Self-consistency, Best-of-N, Tree of Thoughts, MCTS, ParaThinker, GroupThink and Hogwild! Inference mostly impose parallel structures externally rather than teaching adaptive behaviour.
Mistral AI released Workflows in public preview, positioning it as an enterprise AI orchestration layer with durable execution, observability and fault tolerance to take AI workflows from proof of concept to production.
Google DeepMind published a paper proposing Decoupled DiLoCo, splitting large-scale training into decoupled compute islands that communicate through asynchronous data streams, isolating local hardware failures.
Berkeley AI Research proposed GRASP, a gradient-based planner for learned world models. It lifts trajectories into virtual states for parallel optimisation across time, injects randomness directly into state iterations for exploration and reshapes gradients to give actions clear signals. Avoiding fragile state-input gradients in high-dimensional visual models makes long-horizon planning more practical and robust.
Mistral AI released Spaces CLI for human developers and coding agents. Commands such as spaces init and spaces dev handle scaffolding, development environments and deployment, with a corresponding flag for every interactive prompt so agents can work autonomously end to end. Each init generates context.json and AGENTS.md to provide structure and rules.
Google Research released TurboQuant, compressing the KV cache to three bits without loss of model accuracy or training and fine-tuning, alongside the QJL and PolarQuant methods.
The AIMS collaboration between Google Research and several NHS organisations published two companion studies in Nature Cancer evaluating an AI breast cancer detection system within NHS screening workflows.
Mistral AI launched Forge, a system for enterprises to build frontier-class AI models on proprietary knowledge, supporting pre-training, post-training and reinforcement learning. It handles dense and MoE architectures and, when needed, multimodal inputs, with training and governance on companies' own infrastructure.
Mistral AI investigated a vLLM memory leak in a disaggregated Prefill/Decode deployment of Mistral Medium 3.1. System memory grew linearly at 400 MB per minute, causing out-of-memory failures within hours. It occurred only on the decode side with graph compilation and KVCache transfer via NIXL. Heaptrack showed stable heap memory; the issue was outside the heap.
Mistral AI released Mistral OCR 3 with an overall 74% win rate against Mistral OCR 2 on forms, scans, complex tables and handwriting. The company says its accuracy exceeds enterprise document-processing and AI-native OCR solutions.
Mistral released the Mistral 3 family, comprising 14B, 8B and 3B small dense models and its strongest yet Mistral Large 3, a sparse MoE with 41B active and 675B total parameters. All are open-source under Apache 2.0.
Mistral AI announced a multi-year SAP partnership to integrate its models into AI Foundation and jointly develop tailored solutions for complex European industries and the public sector. It will also accelerate vision-language-action model research with Helsing for defence and security, open a German office in the coming months and significantly expand its local team.
Mistral released Mistral AI Studio, a production AI platform for enterprise teams built on three pillars: Observability, Agent Runtime and AI Registry.
Mistral fine-tuned Pixtral-12B with LoRA, substantially outperforming the untuned baseline on Aerial Image Dataset (AID) satellite classification and reducing hallucinated invalid class names. Fine-tuning uses Mistral's API or LaPlateforme UI without extensive hyperparameter tuning, with 8,000 training and 2,000 test samples.
Mistral AI released Codestral 25.08 and a complete enterprise coding stack comprising Codestral, Codestral Embed, Devstral and the Mistral Code IDE plugin.
Mistral AI, Carbone 4 and France's ADEME completed the first full-lifecycle AI model analysis. By January 2025, Large 2 training and 18 months of use produced 20.4 ktCO₂e, consumed 281,000 cubic metres of water and 660 kg Sb eq of resources.
