Singapore’s HTX boosts Home Team AI capabilities with Mistral partnership
New MoU strengthens AI research links between HTX and Mistral.
HTX has signed a new memorandum of understanding with France’s Mistral AI to accelerate joint research on large language and multimodal models for public safety. The partnership will expand into embodied AI, video analytics, cybersecurity, and automated fire safety systems.
The deal builds on earlier work co-developing Phoenix, HTX’s internal LLM series, and a Home Team safety benchmark for evaluating model behaviour. The organisations will now collaborate on specialised models for robots, surveillance platforms, and cyber defence tools.
Planned capabilities include natural-language control of robotic systems, autonomous navigation in unfamiliar environments, and object retrieval. Video AI tools will support predictive tracking and proactive crime alerts across multiple feeds.
Cybersecurity applications include automated architecture reviews and on-demand vulnerability testing. Fire safety tools will use multimodal comprehension to analyse architectural plans and flag compliance issues without manual checks.
The partnership forms part of the HTxAI movement, which aims to strengthen Home Team AI capacity through research collaborations with industry and academia. Mistral’s flagship models, Mistral Medium 3.1 and Magistral, are currently among the top performers in multilingual and multimodal benchmarks.
