Yeah honestly I'm just waiting for Mistral Large 3. They've hinted about it. It's probably going to become the new language model in Le Chat, and imminent: From the "One more thing" on the Mistral Medium 3 blog post in May: > With the launches of Mistral Small in March and Mistral Medium today, it’s no secret that we’re working on something ‘large’ over the next few weeks. With even our medium-sized model being resoundingly better than flagship open source models such as Llama 4 Maverick, we’re excited to ‘open’ up what’s to come :) That version ought to close the gap to large top models today enough to not matter much anymore. And the Cerebras speed will/does make it feel awesome compared to ChatGPT.

  I just hope Mistral find a really cold place (in the alps) for their servers so the GPU will not melt, cause I can foresee 500 million users in the next 2 years. Coding plans of 20/30 euro/month will attract users worldwide and raise the progress in competitivity/innovation of EU, as nr 1 in the world. Now time to invest not to be greedy. And step up the Dutch for the chip production.

A company owned by US investors, running on US infra, in a "strategic partnership with Microsoft", is "the EU waking up"? What a joke.

  while once again conflating what individuals are doing with the EU - a political entity

  Where can I see the ownership by country ? What about their infra ? Nothing's running in France ?

Mistral has been there for quite a while (2 years is "a while" in this field). They are very good at making smaller models, not the smartest or the most knowledgeable, but you generally get pretty clean results quickly. Also, in my experience, they are less heavy handed than others when it comes to censorship.

Lots of good tech comes out of Europe - not that you'd believe it based on what people say around here. I use Le Chat, DeepL and Proton Mail daily.
