Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 offers significantly lower pricing than Mistral Large 4 and GLM-5.3 for AI coding tasks.

Zhipu and MiniMax report significant revenue growth but increased spending, with Zhipu's revenue reaching $136M and MiniMax's at $116.6M.

Mistral AI will offer China's Z.ai's GLM-5.2 model as part of its European sovereign AI infrastructure.

Z.ai upgrades its flagship AI model to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI in coding, joining a wave of Chinese open-weight offerings.

Mistral raises $830M to expand European AI infrastructure, targeting 200MW capacity by 2027 and opening its platform to third-party models.

Mistral plans to build 1GW of compute capacity in Europe by 2030 to boost AI sovereignty and control over AI infrastructure.

Mistral now offers EU data processing for a 10% fee, but only function calling works with regional endpoints.
