An AI infrastructure offering that grants access to a private stack with a range of deployment options, from bare metal to managed PaaS. That was, in broad strokes, the promise of Mistral Compute at its launch in mid-2025.
Mistral AI recently announced a €1.2 billion project to establish a data center in Sweden that will power this “AI cloud.” It adds an acquisition to that. The target: Koyeb.
This French company was founded in 2019 on the initiative of three former Scaleway executives. Isai, Serena Capital and Kima Ventures, among others, have backed it. It now presents its offering as a “serverless platform for AI applications.” Technically, it is a PaaS — and it is still compared to Render and Heroku in its documentation.
H200 and B200 Have Recently Joined the Lineup
To this compute side, Koyeb added managed PostgreSQL in 2025, in addition to connecting to various databases (including MongoDB, which is both an investor and a customer). It has especially embraced the AI pivot by multiplying GPU options and other accelerator chips (the RTX Pro 6000s, the H200 and the B200 arrived in early 2026). All while expanding its catalog of deployable components in a click (n8n, Ollama, Open WebUI, Unsloth, Jupyter Notebook…) and developing integrations with coding assistants (MCP server, skills pack).
Koeyb…
Koyeb relies on four hosting providers: Equinix, AWS, IBM Cloud, and Scaleway. Its control plane is located in Belgium, on GCP. The service is divided into four base plans, with resource consumption added on top.
With Mistral AI taking the reins (16 employees will join the project), the free plan is no longer offered. The platform continues to be marketed independently, awaiting integration into Mistral Compute.
When we first met the @MistralAI team and heard about their vision for Mistral Compute, we saw an incredible opportunity to accelerate the buildup of AI Infrastructure in Europe.
