- re-thc 4mo agoDoesn’t help unless they get GPUs or equivalent to train.
- notrealyme123 4mo agoWith enough money this problem is solvable. GPUs alone are only a fraction of a frontier model.
- dgellow 4mo agoIm really not convinced that can be solved with money alone. China has the money and infrastructure, they don’t have the chips. Europe doesn’t have the infrastructure or the money but may have some chips
- Davidzheng 4mo agooh so they should team up
- petcat 4mo agoWhat chips does Europe have?
- vachina 4mo agoSTM32
- petcat 4mo agoThey're going to run AI training and inference on a 32 bit microcontroller?
- AussieWog93 4mo agoThat's the joke
- ascorbic 4mo agoEurope has ASML
- petcat 4mo agoBut the actually valuable EUV light source technology is developed by Cymer in California. Cymer was only permitted to be acquired by ASML in 2014 under a strict technology sharing and export agreement with US government. It's why ASML can't just sell the machines to whomever they want. It's largely American tech inside them.
- jstummbillig 4mo agoMusk tried, no?
- klohto 4mo agoTo do what exactly? They have been nothing but EU funds leech and corporiders. Every single model is (and always was) behind anything from China. I wish Europe could find one company that can put us on the map but Mistral’s not it. They have repeatedly shown that extra funding doesn’t magically transfer to better models.
- _ink_ 4mo ago> Every single model is (and always was) behind anything from China. My guess is, that Mistral plays fair and doesn't try to extract data from US models, while Chinese companies are not.
