SAP is expanding its partnership with Mistral AI by hosting some of Mistral's commercially available models, including Mistral Large 2, on SAP's operated infrastructure. This move allows customers to leverage Mistral's AI models within SAP's environment, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance. Mistral AI is a French artificial intelligence company that specialises in developing large language models (LLMs).

Addition to SAP's AI Portfolio

According to SAP, the addition of Mistral Large 2 broadens the choice of LLMs that organisations can use for custom AI solutions that complement and extend SAP applications. By hosting the model on SAP's operated infrastructure, SAP can streamline its delivery and deployment of SAP Business AI across the enterprise.

Compliant AI Solutions

SAP says customers, particularly those in heavily regulated industries, require solutions that not only address their innovation needs, but also ensure their data is not exposed to third-party entities. Customers with specific needs can adopt generative AI solutions with greater confidence, knowing their data is managed through a secure environment.

"By adding Mistral Large 2 to SAP's generative AI hub, we're providing our customers with a leading large language model that runs in SAP data centers and on European infrastructure. This provides customers with the ability to build innovative solutions and can help them to comply with regulations in certain regions or industries," shared Philipp Herzig, chief AI officer of SAP SE. "Our expanded partnership with Mistral AI reinforces SAP's commitment to responsible AI, enabling businesses to harness the power of generative AI while maintaining control over their data and intellectual property — a key milestone toward more sovereignty for the European market."

"We look forward to bringing Mistral's advanced language models, including Mistral Large 2, to SAP Business AI, providing AI solutions that help customers meet the highest standards for data security and regulatory compliance," Gianna Lengyel, head of Business Development at Mistral AI, said. "Our partnership with SAP enables businesses to benefit from state-of-the-art generative AI without compromising on control or compliance, particularly for organisations operating in highly regulated environments."

Models Now Accessible on AI Hub

Mistral AI's models are now accessible through the generative AI hub in SAP AI Core, enabling the development of generative AI use cases for SAP applications. Customers can leverage these models to embed AI capabilitiestheir SAP applications or create custom solutions on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), the companies said in a joint statement.
