This is crushing precedent for Europe.

Maybe they'll have access to CCP models, but China will likely soon do them same. Maybe they will allow access but you must use it on their servers (i.e. share everything you do with the CCP).

Perhaps Mistral can pull something out, but how far ahead will the US and China be by then?

unless they managed to hire enough smart Chinese CS PhDs living in Europe.

you do understand that the whole thing is Chinese in China vs Chinese in America?
