Buy European
Apple may acquire Mistral AI, a French startup
That’s not the “buying” we should want.
Please don’t.
Unfortunately, that’s the fate of all successful EU tech startups it seems. They either die or get gobbeld up by US giants.
Currently waiting for eMag to attempt to sell to Amazon, tbh. Would fucking hate it if they did (although they’re expensive anyway), but I somehow get the feeling that’ll be the ultimate trajectory. Hope I’m wrong.
Would EU even allow that?
it would basically kick the EU out of the AI race, I really hope not!!
Yeah new Mistral is actually really good and I hope they get the space to continue be competitive. I’ve just switched from openai to mitral as my main llm.
So much for european autonomy
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Please do the right thing, Mistral.
