Mistral, the only EU frontier model maker, walked away from it
By
–
Sure, sovereign contractors are fine. But Mistral started as a model maker, and those are much rarer than contractors. They were, in fact, the only EU frontier model maker. It seems significant that they walked away from it.

Big models better at everything; rethink smaller model assumption
By
–
I think the assumption that you should use smaller models for less important tasks is flawed (or at least deserves much more careful consideration). Big models are generally better at everything but cost, so it is worth considering whether gains in non-key tasks would be valuable

Mistral’s struggle to keep pace with Big Three and Chinese labs
By
–
Has there been anything good written about the failure of Mistral to keep up with both the Big Three and Chinese labs? They have talent and national backing, but despite being Europe’s only frontier lab (Google Deepmind’s UK lab aside), they haven’t been able to close the gap
