Apple _owns_ computers in people's pockets. There are very few businesses that can match this value. What does Mistral own? A head start at best. For the record I like Mistral and hope they succeed, but you're comparing apples to oranges.
- ta20240528 9d ago"What does Mistral own?" Independence from the USA's CLOUD Act, secret FISA courts, and ICC-style disabling of important services.* *…and the Chinese equivalents.
- wraptile 9d agoDo they actually own it though? AFAIK they have no significant moat even in the EU (legal or competitive) and given the current accessibility to non-SOTA AI (open weight models and distillation) it's just a matter of time until Mistral gets serious competition on these points.
- ta20240528 9d agoThe wording of the CLOUD act prevents any American company from competing, but yes, other European-only companies could offer the same.
