I work in data and I'm french, so Mistral.ai has been on my radar a little more maybe. I was familiar with this memo before Mistral even released their first model. It was discussed a lot in France as this was the base for their first seed round that gave them 100 million euros in investment.

The memo in itself is a very good read.
I actually heard this many times but never understood the math behind this statement. Today is the day I dare asking. Do you mind explaining me like I'm 5 years old?
From where I stand, it looks like the pandora box has already been opened anyway. The era of hugginface and/or Llama2 models is only going to grow from there.
