Yes, the point being made is that poolside is able to train large models with limited resources, which means that Mistral should be able to compete in that space, as they have access to much greater resources than poolside. Mistral simply chooses not to.

And Poolside’s latest models (Laguna S 2.1) are pretty good (not frontier, but competitive with the tier 2 models). Which means that Mistral could certainly compete in that space.
