Yes, We are competing in frontier AI models.

Which other countries in the world are competing in frontier AI models? The U.S., China, and in between, Canada and us.

I ask you not to give in to the prevailing pessimism that is returning, to that spirit of defeat our country has experienced so many times throughout its history.

It is the spirit of 1870, of 1940, of so many moments in our economic history when people say, "We're finished. We look at others and say we're finished for this or that reason."

In the United States of America, you have revolts because people have to choose between energy bills for households or businesses, or being told that their data center can be connected in five or ten years.

We have had more than 90 terawatt-hours of electricity available over the last two years thanks to our nuclear power.

The Houthis claimed a ballistic missile strike on the airport, but Saudi authorities did not identify those responsible.

I will always fight to ensure that "wallah" and "wesh" are not the cultural horizon we offer French youth.

Because between Baudelaire, Victor Hugo and Chateaubriand, there are perhaps infinitely more beautiful and richer words to pass on to young French people.

We need to wage a cultural battle. A battle to transmit France, our literature, our way of life and our greatness.

We brought generations of immigrants into our country. A large proportion of them, including the generation I belong to, fully assimilated.

It wasn't "come as you are." It was "become what we are." But many people who arrived in our country were exempted from making that effort.

As a result, some young people in neighborhoods lost to the Republic feel no attachment to France or its institutions.

They feel nothing for the country in which they arrived.

Gaza has been turned into the world's largest concentration camp by an arrogant, radical and insatiably bloodthirsty genocidal network that considers itself above international law.

As you know, a ceasefire was established last year with our country's contributions. This ceasefire, which our Palestinian brothers and sisters have respected, is being violated thousands of times by the Israeli government.

Since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, 1,500 Palestinians have been killed in these attacks, and more than 5,000 people have been injured.

In the West Bank, illegal settlement activities continue alongside state-backed organized crime and acts of violence by fanatical groups.

Holy sites in Jerusalem are being raided. Their historical and legal status is being violated through acts of lawlessness.

Israel views the peace and security of the region, particularly that of its neighbors, as a direct threat to itself.

I regret to say that, in the face of this tragic situation, we see that the international community has failed to respond appropriately and that judicial and sanctions mechanisms are not being implemented as they should be.

Today, we have forgotten the word: greatness. The beauty of our literature, cinema, museums, arts, and our way of life, envied throughout the world.

Discipline, order, elegance, beauty and culture. These are profoundly French values.

And I want to tell the youth of France that wearing a keffiyeh when you're 18 cannot be the horizon of an entire life.

Ecosia CEO Christian Kroll said Mistral’s models are “a year behind” competitors, citing poor performance, recurring server problems and concerns over its dependence on foreign investors.

Ecosia, which replaced OpenAI with Mistral in May, says switching to open-source models has cut costs by roughly half while improving quality and performance.

Kroll believes Europe can compete in AI by building on Chinese-backed open models rather than spending billions developing its own.
