All sounds like classic marketing/positioning angles for an indiehacker bootstrapped saas tool.

Problem is Mistral needs more than $10K MRR, and isn't going to make it by carving off a small niche when each model costs 10s of Billions to train and run. Europe has no solution to the energy problem long term unfortunately, and is actively trying to make it worse.

I'm 100% certain some giant industrial companies in the EU will sign a huge contract with Mistral to give their employees "EU approved" AI.

But I'm also 100% certain these employees will just use chatgpt or any of the other frontier models in actual day-to-day reality. Europeans aren't dumb and don't want to be fed inferior slop in the name of abstract emotional vibes.

Europe has more nuclear than the US currently (in GW and even more by percentage of grid) and is building more currently and has more in serious planning.

From your phrasing I assume you don't believe in renewables so what energy problem solution are you referring to?

Europe is the only one with a solution to the energy problem long term.

		I think it's Renaissance Fusion (which is still in the EU, but is not Wendelstein 7-X) that has the solution, but it is as stellerator. The only iffy thing are those little ceramic balls full of lead that they talk about letting float inside the lithium, but I suppose they lithium flow might be slow. I don't see how Renaissance Fusion's proposed machine can fail to work.
