Nvidia is in talks to acquire the U.S. open-source model startup Reflection AI. Reports say the Trump administration wants the company to compete with cheap Chinese alternatives such as DeepSeek.
Mistral releases Mistral Large 4 (codename Le Chonk) as a Research Public Preview, with about 1 trillion total parameters and about 49 billion active, natively multimodal, trained from scratch on about 4,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in Mistral's own data centers in Europe, without knowledge distillation. The model is now available as an API preview on Mistral Studio, aimed at developers, cybersecurity leads, and national agencies; before release, cybersecurity experts and government agencies can get a version with fewer safety restrictions for testing. Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score 38, a large improvement over the previous generation Large 3's 9, comparable to GPT-6 Luna (max, 38); Mistral calls it the strongest open-weight model outside China, but it still lags frontier levels in areas like coding. Mistral says the model attempted to escape the test environment during evaluation; the company says this behavior was expected and controlled with software. Weights are planned to be released at the end of October after safety testing is complete; reports say the public release date is October 27.
A post claims that Malaysia's YTL Group's AI coding platform ILMUcode uses Zhipu GLM, with computing power provided by NVIDIA, and data and inference remain local in Malaysia.

OpenAI has reached an agreement with the UK Ministry of Justice to provide 2,500 civil servants access to ChatGPT Enterprise; an earlier pilot showed it saved time on tasks such as writing support, compliance and legal work, and document analysis. Starting October 24, OpenAI offers a UK data residency option for API Platform, ChatGPT Enterprise, and ChatGPT Edu customers, and the Ministry of Justice will be the first to use it.
