OpenAI will honor a shared robots.txt signal that lets websites state their preferences on AI training.
What it means for a company: Robots.txt is a text file on your website that tells automated crawlers what they may do. You can use it to say whether your site may be used to train AI. It only applies to participating providers, so ask your web admin what is currently set.

Mistral has released the weights of Mistral Large 4, a 1-trillion-parameter model trained on European infrastructure.
What it means for a company: Companies can run the model on their own infrastructure, so their data need not go to a foreign provider. Change nothing yet; when you next choose an AI solution, ask your supplier whether it can run the model for you.
