Google's AI Overviews struggle with spelling; Mistral eyes industrial AI

The company acknowledges this as a known issue for large language models, attributing it to the tokenization process, and is working on a fix. Meanwhile, French AI company Mistral is expanding its focus into physical industries like automotive, aviation, defense, and shipping through partnerships with major companies such as Airbus, BMW, and CMA CGM, aiming to bridge the infrastructure gap with US tech giants.
