Mistral AI Acquires Emmi AI to Expand Physics AI and Engineering Models
May 26, 2026 — Mistral AI is building leading AI systems to accelerate engineering and manufacturing globally. As part of this mission, the company is extending its models’ capabilities to understand and model physics; and is enabling AI agents to use existing engineering tools. With the acquisition of Emmi AI, Mistral significantly enriches its products and expertise in this domain, aiming to accelerate the work of engineering solution teams worldwide.
The acquisition also accelerates Mistral AI’s Science roadmap, advancing the understanding of fundamental physics and leveraging unique industrial data. With Emmi AI’s models complementing Mistral AI’s, the company is set to build the best-in-class agents for engineers.
Founded in Austria, Emmi AI has quickly emerged as one of the world’s most ambitious AI companies, leading a revolution at the intersection of artificial intelligence and industrial engineering. Its team has developed a unique expertise in Physics AI, providing state-of-the-art large engineering models. The company empowers industrial players to accelerate their engineering workflows and product design cycles, replace multi-day computations with real-time simulations, and build digital twins to optimize asset operations.
Emmi’s co-founders and its team of more than 30 researchers and engineers, among the leading experts in Engineering AI globally, will join Mistral AI’s Science and Applied AI teams in May.
“This strategic acquisition cements Mistral AI’s leadership in industrial AI and positions us as the partner of choice for manufacturers in high-stakes sectors like aerospace, automotive, or semiconductors,” said Arthur Mensch, co-founder and CEO, Mistral AI. “It empowers our customers with a fully integrated platform to solve complex challenges, transform core R&D processes, and accelerate high-value innovation.”
“This acquisition marks a turning point for industrial innovation,” added Guillaume Lample, co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Mistral AI. “By engineering the first comprehensive AI stack fueled by Physics AI, we are set to deliver real-time simulations and sophisticated digital twins. We aim to break through long-standing technical barriers that have slowed progress for decades, enabling our partners to solve the world’s most daunting engineering challenges.”
Johannes Brandstetter, Emmi AI’s co-founder and Chief Science Officer, commented: “This is a pivotal moment for the future of industrial engineering and the broader AI4Science movement. At Emmi AI, we have dedicated ourselves to solving high-stakes physical challenges, ranging from the real-time stabilization of power grids to the intricate simulation of injection molding and automotive safety testing. By integrating our expertise into Mistral AI’s world-class AI ecosystem, we are positioned to revolutionize core R&D. Together, we are providing the foundational intelligence required to design and build the next generation of aircraft, vehicles, and semiconductors.”
About Mistral AI
Mistral AI is a pioneering French artificial intelligence startup founded in April 2023 by three visionary researchers: Arthur Mensch, Guillaume Lample, and Timothée Lacroix. United by their shared academic roots at École Polytechnique and experiences at Google DeepMind and Meta, they envisioned a different, audacious approach to artificial intelligence—to challenge the opaque-box nature of ‘big AI’, and making this cutting-edge technology accessible to all. This manifested into the company’s mission of democratizing artificial intelligence through open-source, efficient, and innovative AI models, products, and solutions.
