> There is no AI company like Mistral.

The US equivalent of Mistral is Nous Research [0]. Also there would be no Mistral without Llama and it seems like everyone forgot that their LLMs derived from Meta.

For every 'Mistral' in the EU, there's 3 or 5 of them in the US.

Nous Research is NOT equivalent of Mistral. They are not even in the same league. Nous Research is basically LARPing an AI lab compared to Mistral

Llama was a rogue project by the French Meta office - the US folks were getting stuck in their approach. It's EU tech all the way down.

And everyone forgets that electricity was invented (mostly) by Europeans, but so what? Everything comes from something, doesn't make any place inherently better for continuing to inventing more breakthroughs, it's just people in a place after all.

You're going to get yourself in trouble if you dare question American exceptionalism
