President Macron to honour Paris' last newspaper hawker with medal
A 73-year-old newspaper vendor originally from Pakistan is set to receive one of France's most prestigious honours after more than 50 years of selling dailies on the terraces of cafes and restaurants in Paris' fashionable Latin Quarter. Ali Akbar began hawking newspapers after moving to France in 1973, employing a blend of humour and energy to charm locals and ward off falling sales. In September, President Emmanuel Macron will make him a knight of the National Order of Merit, which recognises distinguished service to France in a civilian or military capacity. A native of Rawalpindi in northern Pakistan, Akbar began by hawking copies of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo to students in the Sorbonne and neighbouring institutions. Kerb-side newspaper sellers were already a dying breed in Paris in the 1970s as television steadily replaced the printed word as the main source of news - a process that only accelerated with the advent of the internet. But Akbar, the last remaining newspaper vendor still walking the streets of the French capital, has managed to keep the tradition alive with his ready smile, cheeky sense of humour and sheer dedication. "I just love the feel of paper," Akbar said. "I don't like tablets and all that kind of stuff. But I do like reading. Whatever the type. Real books. But never on screens." "I have a certain way of selling newspapers. I try to make jokes. So people laugh. I try to be positive and I create an atmosphere... I try and get into people's hearts, not their pockets," he said. But the job has become much harder in the era of digital publishing. "I sell about 20 copies of Le Monde in eight hours. Everything is digital now. People just don't buy newspapers," he said. Despite such challenges, Akbar intends to sell newspapers as long as his health permits. In a district where high-end fashion boutiques and eateries have largely replaced the bookstores that once nourished some of the world's most renowned 20th century philosophers, many locals say he's one of the things that keeps the Latin Quarter genuine. "Ali is an institution. I buy Le Monde from him every day. In fact, we do a little more than buy Le Monde for him. We have coffee with him, sometimes we have lunch with him," said one grateful customer, Marie-Laure Carriere. Reuters

Mistral AI Eyes $1 Billion Funding for Global Expansion
French artificial intelligence startup Mistral is engaged in discussions to secure up to $1 billion in funding, which could elevate its valuation to $10 billion, according to reports from industry insiders. The company is in talks with several investors and venture capital firms, alongside Abu Dhabi-based MGX, to bolster its growth. This funding will enable Mistral to further develop its large language models and accelerate the commercial rollout of its latest product, the Le Chat chatbot. Founded in June, Mistral made its mark in Europe by unveiling its AI reasoning model, the first of its kind on the continent. Unlike conventional AI systems, Mistral's model uses logical thinking to generate responses, setting it apart from the offerings of American and Chinese competitors dominating the field. The company's ambitious move into the AI sector reflects its broader goal to challenge the dominance of global giants like OpenAI and Google. The funding round is crucial for Mistral's plans to scale its business and continue its research into more sophisticated AI technologies. Following a successful Series B round last year, which raised 600 million euros and valued the company at 5.8 billion euros, Mistral is seeking additional capital to solidify its position in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Industry analysts believe the new funding will be instrumental in expanding its product offerings and further enhancing the performance of its language models. ADVERTISEMENT Le Chat, Mistral's chatbot, is expected to be a major driver in the company's commercial success. By leveraging its advanced AI reasoning capabilities, the chatbot aims to offer a more intuitive and natural conversational experience. As the demand for AI-powered solutions grows across various sectors, Mistral is positioning itself as a strong contender to capture market share in the competitive AI space. The startup's innovative approach to AI has garnered attention from investors who see potential in its technology to disrupt the global market. While it faces stiff competition from well-established players like OpenAI's GPT series and Google's Bard, Mistral's ability to offer unique AI solutions could enable it to carve out a distinct niche. The success of Le Chat, combined with its growing portfolio of AI models, will likely determine Mistral's ability to challenge the industry's leaders in the coming years. Mistral's ties to Abu Dhabi's MGX also suggest that the startup is looking to tap into the Middle East's growing interest in AI and technology innovation. The UAE has been heavily investing in technology infrastructure as part of its broader strategy to diversify its economy and establish itself as a global hub for cutting-edge industries. As part of this push, the UAE has become an increasingly attractive destination for AI startups seeking capital and strategic partnerships. The company's plans to scale also align with broader trends in the AI industry, where companies are increasingly looking to expand the capabilities of their language models. With AI systems becoming more integral to industries ranging from healthcare to finance, the demand for advanced AI tools that can perform complex reasoning tasks is on the rise. Mistral's emphasis on logical reasoning could provide a significant competitive advantage in this space. Mistral's push for additional investment is seen as a sign of the growing importance of AI startups in the global tech ecosystem. As traditional tech giants race to stay ahead in the AI arms race, startups like Mistral are emerging as key players with innovative solutions that could redefine how AI is used across industries. The outcome of its funding discussions will likely have major implications for the future direction of AI development, both in Europe and globally. Though neither Mistral nor MGX have provided official statements on the ongoing negotiations, the potential deal highlights the increasing appetite for AI technology investments. As global interest in artificial intelligence continues to surge, the involvement of major venture capital firms and investors in Mistral's next funding round further underscores the high stakes in the AI sector.
