# CERN and Mistral plan AI model for physics research

> CERN and France-based Mistral AI announced an intention for long-term cooperation on AI for science on 15 October. The planned foundation model would be trained on simulations of particle collisions to support collider-physics research.

CERN said the Large Hadron Collider has produced about one exabyte of data and that the High-Luminosity LHC is expected to raise collision counts tenfold around 2030. Those figures describe CERN’s scale and future programme; the partnership announcement does not report a completed model or validated performance result.

## Data

### Data scale and future programme

CERN-published context on the LHC and the future high-luminosity phase.

Methodology: The LHC data volume is CERN’s approximate figure; one exabyte is converted to 1,000,000 terabytes. The collision increase is a projection.

| Measure | Value | Period | Basis | Qualifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LHC data volume | 1000000 | 2026-10-15 | observed | approximate |
