score: 84
trend: up
change: 1
+ Mistral opened a Munich hub on September 28 for industrial and physics research, with applied engineers serving enterprise partners directly.

change: 1

score: 39
trend: up
change: 2
+ Kimi K3 reportedly entered OpenAI's enterprise Codex channel through Baseten, with usage counting against existing OpenAI spend commitments.
