Crazy to be so ahead of the curve but sacrifice all first mover advantage in an entire continent like this.
That continent wants their citizens to be safe. So, their citizens are going to pay the price of not having access to these developments as they are happening. I really doubt any of these big players will willingly launch in EU given how big the fines are from EU.
More opportunity for mistral and other EU competitors then I suppose
I'm sitting in Berlin, Germany, EU right now using Claude-3 Opus. I've been officially onboarded a few weeks ago.
They're not really ahead of the curve ...
Also, Mistral is in Europe. By the time they enter the EU there will only be breadcrumbs left.
