Koyeb joins Mistral AI to integrate its serverless platform into Mistral Compute and further build out AI infrastructure.
The French company Mistral AI is acquiring Koyeb, which is also based in France. Koyeb’s platform and team will be integrated into Mistral Compute, the AI player’s infrastructure offering.
With this acquisition, Mistral AI aims to accelerate the expansion of its infrastructure capacity. Koyeb brings its serverless platform and expertise to further develop Mistral Compute. This offering is intended to give organizations access to the same infrastructure that Mistral AI uses for the development and deployment of AI models and software.
Koyeb was founded in 2021 with the ambition of building a new generation of cloud infrastructure. The company focuses on a serverless approach, supported by high-performance hardware deployable worldwide. The platform supports GPU-based workloads, specialized accelerators, and CPU applications, among others. According to Koyeb, scalability, cost-efficiency, and reducing operational complexity play a central role in this.

Today, Koyeb manages tens of thousands of applications on bare metal servers spread across ten locations. The platform targets AI applications such as inference, APIs, and agent-based workloads, without customers having to manage servers or infrastructure themselves.
European AI infrastructure
Mistral is primarily known to the general public for its AI chatbot Le Chat, which offers a European alternative to ChatGPT or Claude. Mistral AI is also investing heavily in infrastructure to support its AI activities. The company has 40 megawatts of data center capacity and 18,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs. Additionally, it plans to invest $1.4 billion in a data center in Sweden.
By integrating Koyeb into Mistral Compute, Mistral AI aims to further scale its infrastructure. The entire Koyeb team is making the transition and will focus on the further expansion of the platform.
Koyeb will remain operational as a separate platform for the time being. In the coming months, it will gradually become a core component of Mistral Compute. The focus is shifting toward paying customers; new users can only sign up for Pro, Scale, or Enterprise plans. The Starter plan is being discontinued for new customers, while existing users on that plan will retain their current terms.
Mistral, for its part, continues to expand its offering. The company was valued at 11.7 billion euros last autumn, following a 1.3 billion euro investment by the Dutch company ASML.
Details regarding this acquisition were not shared.
