Apple needs to spend real money to bring in outside talent — and that likely means acquiring a leading AI startup. It has already kicked the tires on Perplexity and will seriously consider Mistral

I could see apple buying Anthropic.

Apple has tech that would benefit Anthropic on speech to text/text to speech and Anthropic seems to align well with Apple’s corporate philosophy (at least the public version of it)

Wasn’t Mistral AI supposed to be one of the European (French) answers to mostly US companies doing AI? From that perspective it wouldn’t be super great if an US company were to buy them. And the company goals don’t match either as Apple is mostly concerned with their own products. So I’d say they’d likely dismantle the company and we have one less somewhat open AI company.

yep, it would pretty much move the only major AI company in Europe over to America :\
