If the EU can't rely on Nvidia everything must have broken down already, no advanced semiconductor today could be produced by one country only. Unless there's some alternative to ASML and Zeiss the EU is part of that chain.

That's right. So if everything is already broken down, so will Mistral.

That's why this talk of independence is unrealistic.

		Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. And if I'm processing personal data, the threat profile of sending that to a US-based company for inference is very different than the threat profile of sending that data to the EU to run on American chips. One is almost certain to end up in the hands of US government agencies and has a low but real probability to end up in training data or a data breach. The other is has much less immediate threats to my data

		> That's why this talk of independence is unrealistic. No, just really hard. Tackling one problem and thinking it done is the same error as taking one step and thinking you've climbed Mount Everest; the converse is the same, just as one cannot climb Mount Everest without the first step, one also cannot become independent without making the first independent replacement for one the links in the chain you rely on.
