- jodrellblank 3y ago> "The US tech giant will provide the 10-month-old Paris-based company with help in bringing its AI models to market. Microsoft will also take a minor stake in Mistral although the financial details have not been disclosed" Where are the "widely used standards"? Where are the "extending the standards with proprietary capabilities"? Where is the "strongly disadvantaging competitors"?

The Azure offering sets them up for be the most safe, GDPR compliant offering for enterprises in Europe, where Microsoft already has a huge reach and customer base, bolstered by Mistral being a homegrown brand.
