Mistral letting Microsoft use their servers defeats the entire point of the company existing.

Just make good products that respect privacy and creativity, you dumb motherfuckers. Holy shit.

Don’t get the negativity. This does not mit Mistral models are less safe or sending data somewhere else. And it’s bringing US money into the EU, which in my books is a win. Also Mistral gets to position their models ok Azure. Not sure why people are so negative about this

LLM companies that are seeing less success end up renting out their now-superfluous infrastructure (see also: Anthropic using Grok's infra), so this sounds like Mistral isn't seeing the success they were planning for when they bought their current infra?

That's a red flag, I'm out. What European alternatives are left now, Lumo?

Like an addict crawling back to their dealer.

Man, imagine being so wildly opposed to even there concept of not spying on people that despite having all of the existing global infrastructure you could ever need, you'd rather flush billions of dollars down the drain than just figure out something like E2EE.

This makes it easier for many to try Mistral because many already use MS Foundry and you can easily switch models. In contrast, getting through the bureaucracy of negotiating a contract with yet another provider, Mistral, is harder.

However, Mistral via MS is not as sovereign as Mistral directly even though Microsoft wants you to believe that:

In a joint interview with Reuters, Microsoft President Brad Smith and Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch said the partnership aimed to deliver ​such sovereignty while allowing access to US software and security features.

I wonder if it's for Github, there was a deal with AWS as well to backstop their capacity problems due to having to serve slopbots.

I'm sure the valuations are all correct. /s Now we are saying "multi-billion" instead of "billions" to open up the door for the general usage of "trillion". These amounts make no sense and are almost meaningless. Someone should do the cost-accounting on these numbers. I bet there would be a huge difference between "reporting" and reality.

Fuck Mistral, I guess. Fuck every support of Microslop.
