Mistral raises €3B in Europe's largest-ever tech round to boost sovereign AI
OpenAI unveils GPT-6 Astra, its most intelligent and aligned model yet
China's humanoid robot boom: Unitree's IPO pop and startups finding niches

A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM
This episode of A Eye on AI kicks off with French AI lab Mistral raising €3 billion at a valuation over €21 billion, the biggest equity round ever by a European tech company, as it positions itself as Europe's sovereign AI champion. In business, OpenAI announces GPT-6 Astra, its most intelligent model yet, reaching over a billion weekly users, while Google Cloud teams up with Accenture to deploy forward-deployed engineers into enterprises. We also dive into China's humanoid robot boom with Unitree's STAR Market debut, plus emerging startups like Zerith and RobotEra, and brain-computer interface companies Arfysica and Neuracle heading for IPO. Adobe overhauls Premiere with generative AI tools. And in everyday life, WeChat Pay pilots an SDK for smart glasses, letting users pay with a glance and a voice command.
