I've had exactly the same thoughts.
I think it's a stretch to call Mistral "frontier" though, their models are trash.
So it makes me wonder if there's a business opportunity here -- selling air-gapped, on-premise GLM-5.2-class systems to European firms who can't work with OAI or Anthropic, but need access to frontier or near-frontier coding models. Needless to say, there'd be a lot more involved. But it could be interesting.

I think there is. And I am building towards a plug-and-play appliance that targets different levels of intelligence needs (from individuals to companies).
Unfortunately, current hardware prices and my limited budget are really constraining what I can benchmark and putting some in production for testing
