What is mistral
French LLM company, founded by former meta engineer + a former French minister for good political leverage, they made the news after they raised €105M on a slide deck last June. They are quite close to the state of the art in terms of LLMs, both closed and open weights.

#18Do they have to disclose how much they paid?
As a rule of thumb, not if immaterial to their financials, which in often the case for Apple given their size and M&A strategy (they rarely go for any sizeable acquisitions) Sometimes you can find a reference to it in the buyer's the next quarterly (10-Q) or annual (10-K) filing, but since again this is small, Apple will likely only mention it in passing and any sum paid will either be missing or lumped with a bunch…
Thanks for the explanation. I figured it should appear in their quarterly and annual filing as u said.
Since the startup is quite young I would also agree Apple could be interested in their talent.

Does clickbait still work? I feel like I am savvy to it but maybe it’s an illusion ha
I clicked to see if it was Mistral, so yep, it works.
