Finally EU is waking up. Proud of it.
I am switching asap my Openai contract finishes to Mistral.
We got to support EU, Viva La France.
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.
We don’t need another heat source there, the glaciers are already having a hard time.
What about their infra ? Nothing's running in France ?
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.
