I’m on record saying mistral needs 50B euros asap; I’ll admit this was wrong, they need more sooner
It's why ASML can't just sell the machines to whomever they want. It's largely American tech inside them.
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.
My guess is, that Mistral plays fair and doesn't try to extract data from US models, while Chinese companies are not.
