Generative artificial intelligence, popularized by tools like ChatGPT, relies on massive computing power. Behind these increasingly powerful models lies a key component: the chip. Today, this dependence on semiconductors is becoming a major strategic issue for AI labs, governments, and manufacturers.
Mistral Joins the Ranks of the Giants: €1.7 Billion Raised for Sovereign AI
Less than two years after its founding, the French startup Mistral AI has reached a major milestone: a €1.7 billion funding round has just raised its valuation to over €11.5 billion, making it France’s first “decacorn” in the artificial intelligence sector.
Apertus: A Swiss ChatGPT that is transparent and accessible to everyone
As ChatGPT-style models proliferate and competition among tech giants intensifies, more and more voices are calling for greater transparency, control, and sovereignty in the field of generative artificial intelligence.
Anthropic reaches a historic milestone: $183 billion valuation
The artificial intelligence sector is experiencing explosive growth, driven by advances in generative models and massive investments from major tech companies. At the heart of this momentum, one name keeps coming up: Anthropic. Less than three years after its founding, the American startup recently reached a symbolic milestone with an estimated valuation of $183 billion.
DINOv3 by Meta: Self-supervised learning for high-precision visual analysis
Computer vision is one of the most dynamic fields in artificial intelligence. Long reliant on manually annotated datasets, this discipline has undergone a major methodological shift in recent years: self-supervised learning, which enables models to learn how to structure visual information without direct human intervention.
OpenAI is betting big: $1.1 billion to take its AI to the next level
On August 29, 2025, OpenAI announced the acquisition of an American startup specializing in artificial intelligence applied to intelligent agents, for an estimated $1.1 billion. This marks one of the company’s largest acquisitions to date and the third-largest acquisition in the AI sector since the beginning of the year.¹
"AI+" Strategy: China Accelerates the Integration of AI Across All Sectors
In 2015, China launched the “Internet+” program, a digital transformation policy aimed at integrating the internet into every sector of the traditional economy. Ten years later, Beijing is embarking on an even more ambitious shift with the launch of the “AI+” plan, which was officially announced in March 2024 by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
Ray-Ban Meta: see, speak, interact… Artificial Intelligence is coming to your nose
Long considered futuristic gadgets or commercial flops (think Google Glass or Snap Spectacles), smart glasses are making a comeback thanks to dramatic advances in artificial intelligence. Worn as part of everyday life, they no longer just record or stream: they understand, respond, translate, and interpret—all in real time.
Vibe hacking: when users manipulate the behavior of generative AI
Since the emergence of large language models, researchers and developers have focused their attention on securing their responses. Filtering, alignment, and control mechanisms aim to make AI “useful, honest, and harmless.” However, a new form of circumvention—more subtle than jailbreaks or prompt injections—is beginning to gain attention: “vibe hacking.”
"Temporary Chats" on Gemini: A Step Toward More Privacy-Friendly AI
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence, capable of interacting in natural language, is profoundly transforming our relationship with technology. These conversational tools are becoming everyday assistants, whether for work, learning, creating, or staying informed.
