  "account": "European physics research center CERN and Mistral AI have formed a strategic partnership, according to a statement released on Thursday. The collaboration aims to create a Large Physics Model, the first foundation model specifically designed for collider physics, which will be trained on a vast dataset of simulated particle collisions. CERN possesses an impressive one exabyte of experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider, with the volume of collisions anticipated to increase tenfold following an upcoming upgrade expected around 2030.\n\nHigh-energy physics offers an exceptional environment for the development and testing of artificial intelligence, as stated by CERN Chief Information Officer Enrica Porcari. The potential applications of the models extend beyond physics, with both parties expressing interest in their use in other scientific disciplines. No specific timeline or budget was disclosed for the partnership.",
