Strategic Alliance Accelerates Automotive AI Integration
Stellantis has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with
Mistral AI, aiming to accelerate artificial intelligence adoption across every facet of the automaker’s global enterprise. This milestone marks a transition from initial pilot projects to a full-scale, company-wide deployment of generative AI solutions.
Over the past 18 months, Stellantis and Mistral AI have collaboratively developed and implemented advanced AI models in various applications, including next-generation in-car assistants and AI-driven business operations. The new agreement is framed as a strategic alliance, positioned to embed AI deeply within Stellantis’ operations to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and overall customer value.

These initiatives are designed to move the company beyond experimentation and toward the full-scale application of AI across operations.
