On 6 March 2025, Mistral AI unveiled Mistral OCR, an advanced document interpretation API that offers processing of 1,000 pages for $1, surpassing competitors with an impressive accuracy rate of 94.89%. The service is capable of interpreting complex documents, including images, tables, and mathematical formulas, while preserving the
Released on 17 March 2025 under the Apache 2.0 licence, Mistral’s Small 3.1 model marks a significant advancement in artificial intelligence technology. This 24-billion-parameter model delivers improved text generation performance, enhanced multimodal capabilities, and an expanded context window of 128,000 tokens, while maintaining an inference speed
The European Union launched the EuroStack initiative on 13th February 2025, offering a comprehensive €300 billion strategy to establish Europe's digital independence over the next decade. The plan addresses the critical situation in which more than 80% of Europe's digital infrastructure and technologies come from imports,
According to the plan unveiled in January by the Centre for Future Generations research institute, a €35 billion initial investment would create an international research centre for European artificial intelligence development. In line with former ECB President Mario Draghi's comprehensive technology report, the proposal suggests establishing an institution
Google and the Polish government signed a strategic partnership agreement on February 13, 2025, to develop artificial intelligence, primarily focusing on energy and cybersecurity. The agreement includes a $5 million training program to develop the digital skills of one million Polish citizens over the next five years. Google is already
Emmanuel Macron, the French President, announced a €109 billion (£112.5 billion) private sector investment package for artificial intelligence development in France.
