#Mistral CEO #ArthurMensch tells CNBC they're exploring custom chip design to lower inference costs and control the stack:

The open-silicon community has been making this case for years. But chips alone aren't enough: open EDA, open PDKs, and auditable flows are arguably the only path forward to "own the full stack".

Let's continue this at #FSiC2026, Ljubljana, 6-8 July:
