A brand new settlement between Mistral AI and HTX covers AI capabilities for robotics, video evaluation, and digital defence.
HTX, Singapore’s Home Team Science and Technology Agency, and Mistral AI have signed a Strategic Partnership for Innovation grasp settlement at MTX 2026 to collaborate on AI for public safety.
Under the settlement, the 2 sides will work on know-how and engineering options for Home Team operations, draw on one another’s networks, and strengthen HTX’s technical capabilities by means of coaching. In AI particularly, the collaboration covers integrating AI into humanoid and different robotic methods, utilizing superior temporal modelling to flip uncooked video streams into actionable intelligence, and strengthening digital defences by means of agentic AI workflows.
Mistral AI may even present infrastructure to assist high-performance inference and fine-tuning, in addition to a developer toolkit for speedy and safe utility improvement.
HTX chief govt Chan Tsan stated:
‘AI is a key enabler for the Home Team that cuts across multiple public safety domains. This is why we launched the HTX AI Movement in June 2024. As AI model development and deployment increasingly underpin Home Team’s operational capabilities, it’s essential that we collaborate with companions like Mistral AI to drive innovation, whereas making certain scalability and governance.‘
Mistral AI chief govt and co-founder Arthur Mensch added: ‘We are proud to sign this Strategic Partnership for Innovation with HTX. By unifying our work streams and automating key processes, we can accelerate the development of AI solutions that enhance public safety, from integrating AI into robotic systems to transforming raw video streams into actionable intelligence.’
The settlement builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in November 2025. The two sides have already labored on initiatives together with Phoenix, the Home Team’s household of AI fashions, and AI safety benchmarks tailor-made to Singapore and public safety use circumstances. Phoenix-VL 1.5 Medium, unveiled throughout MTX 2026, was introduced as a part of the persevering with collaboration.
