Mistral is very far in the AI ​​race. Samsung doesn’t care about that and plans to invest a fortune in it

by

Mistral is in fashion. It doesn’t matter that their AI models are not among the bestbecause it is enough for the French startup to defend the discourse of European and sovereign AI that has become so relevant in recent months. That has caused its valuation to rise, but it could do so even more with the arrival of a surprising actor to its shareholding: Samsung. betting big. The South Korean giant is having conversations to invest hundreds of millions of euros in Mistral. It would do so as part of a new round of financing that would make the valuation of the French startup reach 20 billion euros. According to sources close to the operation, Samsung – which had previously invested in Mistral through its venture capital division – could contribute around 1 billion euros in this new round. Now the important thing is “to be trustworthy”. The interest in Mistral is not coincidental. These talks come after the Trump administration temporarily blocked access to the latest AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. That has triggered a wave of interest in what It is now known as the “sovereign AI”that is, AI models that no government or foreign country can disconnect suddenly. Since its foundation, Mistral has betting precisely by open models that any customer can customize and control on their own, without political decisions in country The money doesn’t stop coming in. The current round comes less than a year after Mistral was valued at €12 billion in a deal led by ASML, the Dutch chipmaking equipment giant. In September 2025 raised 1.7 billion eurosmost of them coming from the aforementioned ASML, which uses Mistral models to develop its advanced semiconductor manufacturing machines. At the beginning of the year he managed another 830 million euros in its first debt financing, and now, in addition to Samsung, the Scaleup Europe fund, from the Swedish EQT, is also considering entering the round. Samsung and Mistral love each other more and more. Both companies have been strengthening their alliance for months. In April several media reported that both companies had been negotiating a collaboration in the field of memories for AI chips. Samsung is the largest memory manufacturer in the world, and has seen its revenue and profits skyrocket thanks to demand for AI. Investing in Mistral gives it a direct relationship with the European startup with the most projection just at a time when the entire industry is fighting for access to the supply of chips and memory. It’s a more than reasonable move. Each sheep with its partner. This alliance is reflected in other similar movements in recent weeks and months. In June, the memory maker Micron invested in Anthropic as part of a broader alliance that includes a long-term memory supply agreement. This same week, Mistral already closed an expansion of its alliance with Microsoftwhich has committed to a “multi-million dollar” investment to use the French startup’s computing infrastructure. Mistral models will also be available through Azure. Mistral Medium 3.5, the most powerful model of the French startup, is very far from open Chinese models such as GLM-5.2 or Kimi K3, and certainly from frontier models from Google, OpenAI or Anthropic. Source: Artificial Analysis. But. Despite all this interest, Mistral’s open models face a very stark reality: they are far from the capacity of the latest Chinese open models. They have recently demonstrated it both GLM-5.2 as especially Kimi K3the Moonshot AI model that already almost competes with Fable 5 and GPT-5.6. They are good, pretty and cheap, and at the moment the only advantage of Mistral is being European. We’ll see if that continues to work. Ascending trajectory. Founded just three years ago, Mistral has become the most valuable AI startup in Europe. Its CEO, Arthur Mensch, assured in the Financial Times in February that the company’s annual recurring revenue will exceed $1 billion before the end of the year. The total focus is on the drive to win business customers, and although the promise is striking, it will be necessary for Mistral to also accelerate the capacity of some models that according to benchmarks They are falling behind.

“The less complex the car, the easier it will be to manufacture and the cheaper it will sell”

by

The year 1914 had just begun when Henry Ford dropped the bomb: would share half of the profits achieved in one year among all its workers. The figure, it was expected, would amount to about 10 million dollars at the time. The next day, his factory had collapsed due to the number of people waiting to enter the assembly line. The move was as bold as it was essential for the company. In those years the factories had a serious problem with absenteeism and Henry Ford was very clear about his ideas. He knew that mass production would make the production of his cars cheaper, but he needed a lot of sustained labor. It is what we know as the Fordismfrom which large-scale chain production emerged, with the consequent cost savings. And the more copies of the same product are sold, the cheaper it is because the faster the fixed costs are amortized. That is why Henry Ford did not complicate things in the slightest: “Any customer can have a car painted any color they want as long as it is black.” once said about the Ford T. The phrase was more sly than anything else but it explained well what he wanted to do with his cars. However, Ford left many other phrases related to his method of producing cars that were just as interesting. Some of them, in fact, can be applied today although, curiously, part of the original philosophy of that production process that made the Ford T the first mass car has to be adapted. From Ford T to the future electric car And when it comes to winning the market, Henry Ford was very clear that you had to pay attention to what was important: “the less complex an article is, the easier it will be to manufacture and the cheaper it will be sold”, as stated in the book My life and work of Henry Ford himself. He aim is different, the simplification of the product facilitates simpler production and reduces productive times. Therefore, it can be manufactured faster and cheaper so you can play with the price when selling the product on the street. This is exactly what according to some expertsthey have obtained from China. BYD and Tesla are simplifying their products as much as possible to save on production costs and thus be able to compete against the extremely well-oiled and efficient machinery that is Toyota. The problem for this last company is that This way of working completely rethinks your own quality standards but, above all, it forces you to rethink your entire production system. And an electric car is not manufactured the same as a combustion car. That is why there are consulting companies that have pointed out to Toyota that it is not acting correctly if it simply thinks of both technologies in a very similar way. At Ford they have been thinking about this idea for a long time. The company has acknowledged that Chinese cars have been taken to their facilities to dismantle them and understand what makes them different. Ford’s fascination with vehicles from this Asian country is such that Jim Farley, CEO of the company, He has admitted that he did not want to get off his Xiaomi SU7. To catch up, at Ford they have joined that trend that says that an electric car cannot be produced like a combustion car. With this we will escape from the single line, from the path on which the Fordism but the final goal is the same: reduce production costs. Follow the maxim of making the product the simplest possible object because that, in practice, makes production cheaper and allows you to sell cheaper. They do it by opting for tree manufacturing, which they have called “Ford’s new universal production system for electric cars”. Instead of assembling the car on a single line, Ford has devised another system that is based on three subassemblies that end up joining together almost at the end of the production process when the car should already be very close to leaving the assembly line. Thus, we have three individualized spaces: one for the front of the car, another for the rear and a last one that includes the battery, seats and console. According to the company, the new system allows them to produce their electric vehicles 40% faster at the Louisville Assembly Plant factory where the company has invested almost 2 billion dollars to renew it in depth and remove its “medium-sized electric trucks” from there. That is, electric pick-up and large SUVs that in Europe you would consider large. With this new system, they assure, it’s easier to be efficient in the design of the electronics and the installation of the cables, which represents a saving in weight and, above all, in money that must be invested in wiring. A maxim that we have already seen in other models on the market such as the BMW iX3. According to Ford data, they will need 50% fewer electrical connections, 50% fewer cooling installations and 20% fewer parts. In addition to all this, the plant will have WiFi-7 and a private 5G system for sending data which, according to Ford, will allow them to carry out more exhaustive quality controls at any point in the production process. This means finding any type of defect sooner and remedying it as soon as possible. That is to say, the company’s intention is to reinvent itself for the future but following the premises that its creator already set for them more than 100 years ago.

The Spanish anthem has no lyrics, so we have sung another one that has nothing to do with football: Nino Bravo’s

by

The Spanish anthem or Marcha Real is a rarity: it does not have official lyrics (although there are those who have tried to compose it, from José María Pemán to Sabina or Marta Sánchez), which gives it a solemn aura, but prevents the participation of the masses in festive environments. Like when you win a Soccer World Cup, except that people become helpless “lo lo lo lo.” However, the fans I needed a letter for chant and celebrate the champions and found it within a melodic 1972 song milestone that doesn’t mention football once. When did it start? ‘A kiss and a flower’ by Nino Bravo already played in stadiums in the United States and Mexico throughout the tournament, and ended chanted in unison by players and fans after the whistle that put an end to the same. At the airport, hours later, the public address system made it sound while relatives from both teams shared a terminal on the way home. The verse that circulated the most on networks was the one that opens the song: “When parting, a kiss and a flower, an ‘I love you’, a caress and goodbye.” The original. It was composed by José Luis Armenteros and Pablo Herrero in 1972, with arrangements by Maryní Callejo, and it was number one on Los 40 Principales that same year, four weeks in a row. Its interpreter, Luis Manuel Ferri Llopis, better known as Nino Bravo, died in a traffic accident in 1973, when he was only 28 years old. This video clip that was filmed in the Balearic Islands For the Ministry of Information and Tourism it is the only color material that is preserved from him. Before this song, Nino Bravo had already triumphed outside of Spain: between 1969 and 1970 he recorded some sixty songs and his voice especially resonated in Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Chile and Colombia, markets where he shared the bill with Raphael without the divo overshadowing him in the slightest. That his repertoire (especially this one and ‘Libre’) is still alive half a century later in the stands and the streets is proof of how it has deeply permeated Spanish popular culture. What the lyrics are really talking about. The more extended reading He links it to the economic emigration of Franco’s regime: the years in which thousands of young people left “with the cardboard suitcase” for Germany, Switzerland or France in search of a salary that they could not find here (“I will leave my land for you, I will leave my fields and I will go, far from here”). That is why the song serves today, far from Spain, as an anthem of another exodus: in Cuba it is still associated with those who have had to leave the island in recent decades. The long relationship with football. In fact, Nino Bravo’s melody has been around for decades sneaking into Latin American standsalthough with the lyrics completely replaced. The fans of Barcelona SC, in Ecuador, adapted it to sing about his yellow uniform; Colombian Deportivo Cali did something similarand there is also a version for Independiente Medellín. In those cases the lyrics vary to encourage the team and the fans and launch the corresponding jabs at the rival. The Spanish case is special: there is no new or modified letter. The original is sung, which promises a return as the only very slight and common link with the circumstances of the competition. And be careful, the original letter does not distinguish flags. In fact, a curious phenomenon has occurred with it: despite its international significance, it has been chanted en bloc among Spanish players and fans because it has been judged in an intuitive and unspoken way that it is a genuinely Spanish anthem and that it represents us. Like the sun every morning. In Xataka | Argentina is clear that Argentina had to give away Argentina’s fourth World Cup. And no one in Argentina is very clear why.

the great meteorological divergence of Spain this summer

by

The current heat wave, the third of the summerhas especially hit the Spanish southeast, although it is also hitting the rest of the south, the east and the center of the peninsula, as well as the Balearic Islands. On the other hand, in the north, where they did suffer the effects of the two previous heat waves, they have been spared this one. In Asturias, for example, mercury It has been rising to about 24-27ºCquite fresh, compared to the more than 40ºC that are suffering in many places in the south and east of the peninsula. That doesn’t mean this summer isn’t being unusually hot in the north, like the rest of the country. However, at least as far as this heat wave is concerned, it is being much more bearable for them. Right now, all of us who live in the red areas of the map are thinking the same thing about Asturians. How lucky! But in reality it is not luck, but meteorology. Why is the north spared from the heat wave? According to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET)the current heat wave is due to “a blocking pattern, made up of a stationary DANA in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsulatogether with the presence of a high at medium levels over North Africa.” All this “is giving rise to the intrusion of a mass of warm, dry air with suspended dust over the southeast of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands”, which little by little has been spreading over a good part of the rest of the Spanish territory. But not so much in the north. What was mentioned by the AEMET, together with “the sunshine typical of this time of year and the generalized subsidence” is what has caused this increase in temperatures. So far so good. But what happens in the north? To begin with, we have seen that it all starts with a DANA in the northwest. The area that is getting rid of the heat. This meteorological phenomenon is due to a low pressure zonewhich rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. This, in the DANA area, causes atmospheric instability marked by showers, storms and cooler temperatures. On the other hand, we have the anticyclone coming from Africa. It is an area of ​​high pressure, whose effect is completely opposite: very warm and dry air. And what happens when the two get together? Broadly speaking, the DANA gyre itself pushes the hot African air towards the southeast, so that the northwest is spared from its arrival. In short, the DANA is like a kind of protective wall, which pushes heat in all opposite directions. Why did the other two heat waves affect the northwest? The first two heat waves of summer They were very similar to this one. We had a blockage caused by a DANA, and hot air coming from Africa. However, there was one big difference: DANA took place to the west, not the northwest. When this occurs, it is rather in the Atlantic Ocean, not directly over the Galicia area. The blockage occurs at sea and the hot air can spread throughout the peninsula. Therefore, in that case there were unusually high temperatures in these parts of Spain that are now being resolved. The areas that are not free The autonomous communities on alert for this third summer heat wave are Andalusia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Castilla – La Mancha, Catalonia, the Community of Madrid, the Region of Murcia, Navarra, La Rioja and the Valencian Community, as well as the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Galicia, Cantabria, Asturias and other points in the north, on the other hand, have typical summer temperatures, but they are not suffering from the suffocating heat wave that is raising the mercury to extremely dangerous levels. Even in the west they have been spared this time. Even so, it would be better if they did not store the fans that many were bought for the first time just a month ago. This summer is coming strong.

Poland has 500 kilometers of train to build and 32 billion euros saved. And Spain wants to take over them

by

Spain is a railway power. It is because we are the second country in the world in high-speed roads. But also because our companies are among the most sought after when it comes to carrying out a new project. We have examples of all kinds that point to all the processes necessary to start a train on the track. That is why Poland has trusted Spain for an investment that should completely change its infrastructure. 32.2 billion euros. This is what Poland will invest to move forward Port Polskathe project that wants to completely change the image of the country to turn it into a key axis in central European mobility. With the intention of completely renewing the way its citizens move, Poland has launched a series of investments that include road improvements but, above all, an intermodal center a few kilometers from Warsaw. This space will house a new airport for travelers that also wants to offer itself as a strategic place for the transport of goods and serve the military forces of the European Union and NATO. But, above all, it will be the nerve center of a new high-speed train network. Polish trains. The project includes building 480 kilometers of high-speed roads that will connect four of the five most populated cities in the country. From Port Polska you can travel to Warsaw, obviously, but also to Lodz, Poznań and Wroclaw (Wrocław). The network will have the capacity for trains to reach 350 km/h but they will move at a maximum of 320 km/h. In this way, an infrastructure is developed that is considered key to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T)the same one that is committed to the development of Madrid-Lisbon high speed. The first section, between Warsaw and Łódź, is expected to be operational in 2032 and the line to be fully operational in 2035. And Spain? One of the countries most involved with the project is ours. In fact, Óscar Puente (Minister of Transport) met a few days ago with Dariusz Klimczak (Minister of Infrastructure) in relation to the investments that Spanish companies have there. This meeting has been accompanied by a second one in which Adif, Renfe, Acciona, Aldesa, CAF, Elecnor, Idom, Indra, Lantania and Talgo have met. And all of them are seeking entry into this 32.2 billion euro project, either in terms of the construction of the necessary infrastructure, its management or the contribution of the trains that must pass through the tracks. Among the latest major advances, Adif renewed its agreements underwriting the company’s work in “the design, construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure, the transfer of knowledge and skills, as well as the development of “local content”, in order that the greatest possible part of the technical knowledge and the benefits of the investments made remain in Poland”, They explained from the Polish embassy. Waiting for news. At the moment, ACS, Acciona and Ferrovial each lead one of the six consortia that aspire to take the first batch of investments to build the Polish high-speed train, they explain in Expansion. In addition, Ayesa will supervise the 17-kilometer stretch from Lodz to Wrocław. Ineco and Adif collaborate, as we said, in the design of the high speed and Idom is immersed in the airport’s ICT services. They are not the only ones. In addition to the development of this new high-speed rail infrastructure, Renfe also operates in Poland. And with the help of Leo Express, the Czech company of which Renfe has been the majority shareholder since 2021, the Spanish company offers its services between Warsaw and Krakow. Besides, In February they announced that they were increasing cross-border services and that they would put more trains on the route between Prague and Krakow given the good results.

rent iPhones, iPads and Macs

by

He leasing of cars It has worked very well for them to companies for years, and now the idea is also going to reach iPhones and other Apple devices. According to indicate in Bloombergthe company is preparing to launch Apple Upgrade, a device rental program. The service is expected to be announced on July 28 and will cover most iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch models. But be careful: rather than subscribing to them, you will rent them. There is a slight difference. Leasing for iPhone and Mac. The service works exactly the same as the leasing or car leases. The customer pays a monthly fee, as in a subscription, for a period of 24 months (for iPhone and Apple Watch) or 36 months (for Mac and iPad). After that period, the device will not belong to the customer, because what will happen is that at that moment they will have to decide if they want to return it, keep it (paying a variable final amount) or exchange it early for a new model, so the previous monthly payments will be renewed during the same period. The idea comes from afar. Apple launched its iPhone Upgrade Program in September 2015 with a curious idea: that we could subscribe to the iPhone. Any client I could pay a monthly fee (which at that time started at $32) to have an iPhone that could also be renewed every year. The program included Apple Care+, and was only valid for iPhones. A key financial partner. This time Apple will not be responsible for assuming the financial risk of the program. Instead, the Cupertino company has teamed up with Klarna, which will act as support for the initiative. The news of the appearance of the program had an immediate effect on its stock market shares, which appreciated by 11% while Apple’s barely moved. Neither company has commented on the matter. Previous check. To be able to access the program, users must pass a simplified credit check (“soft credit check”), which will be a “light” version of the checks that must be passed by those who lease a car, for example. The service will be available in both physical and online stores, initially in the US. First price rise, now this. The launch comes just weeks after Apple decided to raise prices Mac or iPad, although the iPhone is not affected yet. It was something that was a given, and even Tim Cook himself announced that they would have to raise prices because the situation had become “unsustainable”. The memory crisis was already the trigger for this price increase, and now it is also the trigger for this new way of having an Apple device paying for it in monthly installments… without it becoming completely yours in the end. Changes from the past. Apple is ending support for new registrations in its iPhone Upgrade Program, which had standard financing. Unlike this service, AppleCare support is excluded from Apple Upgrade, and this leasing will also exclude some affordable devices, such as the Apple Watch SE, the entry-level iPad, the iPhone 16 or the MacBook Neo. Purchases for companies and educational centers will not be included either.

Arriving first is no longer a business (Próxima X #012)

by

For a few years, arriving first has been a lasting advantage. The best model was scarce, expensive to achieve and difficult to imitate, and that scarcity translated into the price. Whoever arrived first got paid for it. A few days ago that premise was blown up with the silencer on. Moonshot has presented these days Kimi K3a model with 2.8 billion parameters with the weights announced openly. It slips into second or third place in intelligence indices depending on who you ask, only behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol. And it leads the ranking frontend. The dominant reading, expected in the middle of 2026, is geopolitics: “China catches up with the United States.” Well. It is the most obvious and the least interesting reading, if you ask me, because what is relevant is not the little flags but rather the distance between the closed border and its open replica has gone from the 6 to 9 months that were debated to something closer to between 3 and 5. If anything. The premium for arriving first is no longer measured in years. Not in months either. Or less and less. It is already measured in weeks. Capacity is already getting cheaper before it becomes profitable The business model of selling access to the best model rests on an assumption: that capacity will remain scarce long enough to pay off what it cost to achieve it.
