Do they actually own it though? AFAIK they have no significant moat even in the EU (legal or competitive) and given the current accessibility to non-SOTA AI (open weight models and distillation) it's just a matter of time until Mistral gets serious competition on these points.

The wording of the CLOUD act prevents any American company from competing, but yes, other European-only companies could offer the same.
