    Mistral just raised €3 billion in a Series D, valuing it at more than €21 billion, the largest equity fundraising ever completed by a European technology company.With this, Mistral still intends to build frontier AI models, but will also invest heavily in compute, infrastructure and sovereign AI, positioning itself as an alternative for governments and companies that want more control over their technology and their data.So is Mistral still trying to become Europe’s OpenAI or Anthropic, taking a leaf out of the Chinese playbook, or is it building something potentially much more defensible in the long term?To unpack the round, the valuation, and what it means for the future, Paul Murphy, Mistral’s earliest investor at Lightspeed, spoke to Pathfounders Editor, Mike Butcher.

    Can we engineer Critical Minerals?

    The energy transition depends on scarce critical minerals used in batteries, hydrogen electrolysers, solar panels and electronics. Oxford, UK-based startup Milvus Advanced believes there is another option besides digging more mines: engineering abundant nano-scale materials that can mimic critical minerals such as platinum, iridium and indium. Pathfounders editor Mike Butcher speaks to founder and CEO Dr Assia Kasdi about the science behind Milvus, its move from laboratory experiments to kilogram-scale production, and whether engineered replacements could reduce the West’s dependence on fragile global supply chains.

    That OpenAI / Hugging Face Incident. What now?

    What happens when an AI model is told to solve a cybersecurity test and decides the easiest route is to escape its sandbox, reach the open internet and hack another company?In this episode of the Pathfounders podcast, Mike Butcher is joined by Meryem Arik, co-founder and CEO of Doubleword; Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee.io; and Ivan Burazin, co-founder and CEO of Daytona, to examine the extraordinary OpenAI–Hugging Face security incident which occurred recently. Did the models genuinely go rogue or simply follow their instructions too effectively? Why did sandboxing and conventional enterprise security fail? Are frontier AI companies increasingly using stories about their powerful models as "danger porn" to hype their capabilities?The podcast explored the growing security risks created by autonomous agents, why agents should never inherit a human user’s identity and permissions, and how businesses can protect themselves through isolated environments, tighter authorisation and stronger governance.Subscribe to Pathfounders for conversations on AI, startups, venture capital and geopolitics.
