Weโ€™re building AI that answers to the planet. And itโ€™s now more European โ€“ which means more independent, and more private.

Gonna chime in and say that water and electricity usage for one AI summary is negligible. Even if it's not anymore when millions of people do it, that's not a significant problem imo. While I hate the AI technocrat propanda recolution, I think strengthening Mistral AI is good for European strength and resilience. I, yes, I acknowledge that European politicians are just as neoliberally and technocratically polished as the Americans.
