In 2024, the collaboration was formalised through a first contract, enabling Mistral AI\u2019s models to be integrated into BNP\u00a0Paribas\u2019 internal large language model infrastructure. The renewed partnership extends the scope of collaboration with Mistral AI\u2019s software and solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">BNP\u00a0Paribas and Mistral AI\u2019s science applied AI and engineering teams will now work more closely together to design and develop generative AI solutions tailored to the bank\u2019s operational and regulatory requirements. This approach prioritises co-development, knowledge transfer and progressive deployment, emphasizing progressive industrialisation and change management. The Group will also explore Mistral AI\u2019s Compute offering as it continues to evolve. The partnership also reflects BNP\u00a0Paribas\u2019 choice to work with a European technology partner on selected use cases, as part of a broader, multi-model approach to generative AI, guided by performance, data sensitivity and geographic considerations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Priority use cases\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Simplifying access to internal knowledge and research<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Across BNP\u00a0Paribas, teams manage large and growing volumes of structured and unstructured information. Generative AI is being used to enhance internal document search, automate data extraction and support complex financial analyses requiring cross\u2011referencing multiple sources. Several applications are already deployed internally, while others are in advanced pilot or experimentation phases. The primary benefits relate to time saved by employees, improved reliability of responses to complex queries and easier access to consolidated knowledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Supporting sensitive processes through on-premises AI solutions<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">The partnership also covers the development of AI solutions for processes such as Know Your Customer (KYC), where data sensitivity, security and compliance requirements are particularly high. Generative AI can help automate low value-added steps and orchestrate workflows more efficiently, while maintaining full expert validation of risks and decisions. BNP\u00a0Paribas and Mistral AI are also collaborating on selected research projects and specialised models, aligned with specific business and risk management needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Client and employee assistant<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">Mistral AI\u2019s models have already been integrated into selected applications developed by BNP\u00a0Paribas entities. For example, at Hello bank!, the latest version of the virtual assistant Hello\u00efZ, deployed to more than one million clients since January 2026, uses generative AI to better understand customer requests and route them efficiently, while ensuring seamless access to human advisors when needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">The Group is also rolling out a generative AI employee assistant, notably to enable users to summarise, reformulate and translate content, generate documents and support information analysis. The solution will be deployed in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">\u201cThis renewed partnership with BNP\u00a0Paribas marks a significant milestone in our shared journey to redefine what\u2019s possible with generative AI in financial services. Together, we are not only deploying cutting-edge models but also co-developing bespoke solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities of the banking sector. BNP\u00a0Paribas\u2019 trust in Mistral AI as a long-standing partner underscores our commitment to innovation, security, and scalability. By combining our advanced AI capabilities with BNP\u00a0Paribas\u2019 deep expertise, we are empowering their teams and clients with tools that drive efficiency, insight, and transformation\u00a0\u201d.\u201d\u00a0Marjorie Janiewicz, Chief Revenue Officer at Mistral AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-m u-line-h-m\">\u201c\u00a0Our priority is to harness the power of generative AI to create reliable and efficient tools that our teams and clients can use in their day-to-day activities.
