According to the companies, this will include thousands of Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs for Mistral's use and will provide a shared platform for training, inference, and large-scale deployments.

This will also expand Microsoft's European capacity and will be consistent with the cloud giant's approach to infrastructure, combining owned data centers, leased facilities, and third-party providers.
