Dassault Systèmes and Mistral AI are strengthening their cooperation in artificial intelligence services, focusing on the needs of public administration and tightly regulated sectors in Europe. A key element of the partnership is the deployment of Mistral AI’s latest products, the Le Chat Enterprise assistant and the AI Studio platform, in the sovereign Outscale cloud provided by Dassault Systèmes. These solutions are intended for entities that prioritise the protection of sensitive data, know-how and intellectual property, while leveraging the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence.
Le Chat Enterprise and AI Studio in the sovereign Outscale cloud
Le Chat Enterprise and AI Studio have been made available to users in the Outscale cloud environment, which is based on a sovereign operating model and meets the highest European standards for confidentiality and cybersecurity. This provides public institutions and companies from regulated industries with access to high-performance AI models developed in Europe, under conditions that ensure control over data flows and data processing.
The partnership between Dassault Systèmes and Mistral AI is intended to address the challenges associated with the industrialisation of generative artificial intelligence. The combination of innovative models, specialised software and sovereign cloud infrastructure is expected to enable broader AI deployments while maintaining compliance with European data protection and information security regulations.
The joint offer is aimed at organisations that treat information security as a priority and at the same time are looking for tools to increase productivity and process quality. Integrated, interoperable AI models available in the Outscale cloud are intended to facilitate deployments without limiting innovation, flexibility and the ability to build competitive advantage.
Characteristics of Le Chat Enterprise and AI Studio
Le Chat Enterprise is an AI assistant designed as a fully configurable working environment, in which the user retains privacy and full control over data. The solution integrates data, tools and teams within a single interface, enabling the automation of processes such as generating reports, marketing content or software code. The intention is to reduce the number of repetitive tasks and lower the risk of human error.
The AI Studio platform is targeted at developers of artificial intelligence solutions and provides full control over the technology stacks used in projects. At the same time, it offers access to production-ready infrastructure and a set of tools supporting the deployment and operation of models, including optimised inference engines, caching mechanisms, routing, security controls and automated deployment.
Outscale is described as the first cloud to achieve the highest level of security certification in Europe. This is important for entities in regulated industries, where compliance requirements and cybersecurity standards are particularly stringent. From the user’s perspective, this means the ability to use AI tools in an environment regarded as trusted and subject to European regulations.
Importance of a sovereign cloud for regulated sectors
The cooperation between Dassault Systèmes and Mistral AI has been presented as part of a broader trend towards the development of sovereign digital solutions in Europe. In the context of artificial intelligence, the key factor is combining the efficiency of generative models with the ability to strictly control the location and processing of data. This applies in particular to sectors such as public administration and regulated industries, where data confidentiality and process transparency are of fundamental importance.
“The cooperation with Mistral AI reinforces our commitment to delivering sovereign, secure and high-performance cloud solutions that support key transformations taking place in industry, public administration and society as a whole. Together, we will accelerate and broaden the adoption of sovereign cloud for artificial intelligence in Europe, with full confidence that we can meet the needs of regulated industries and the public sector in the areas of data security, transparency, control and performance,” says Philippe Miltin, CEO of Outscale at Dassault Systèmes.
The availability of Le Chat Enterprise and AI Studio in the Outscale cloud was announced during the Adopt AI event in Paris. Both Mistral AI products are offered through the Outscale Marketplace, an online ecosystem that enables searching, deploying and managing partner solutions operating in this cloud. Simplified access to AI tools within a single environment is intended to facilitate their integration with users’ existing IT infrastructure.
