    "post_text": "Quick roundup of the most interesting startup / indie hacker stories from the last 24 hours.\n\n1. Mistral AI raises €3 billion at a €21B valuation The French open-weight AI lab closed its Series D with Samsung, Nvidia, Salesforce Ventures, and a16z backing. They're targeting ~$1B ARR by year-end and have a clear sovereign European AI thesis - open-weight models for governments and enterprises that don't want to depend on US cloud infrastructure.\n\n2.

One of the steepest valuation corrections in emerging market tech. A cautionary tale on blitz-scaling with VC capital when the unit economics aren't there.\n\n4. Nuclear startup Bluecore Energy raises $50M seed - two months after launch Bluecore Energy came out of stealth and immediately closed a $50M seed round.
