Benjamin Marie(@bnjmn_marie):If you don't know, Mistral AI's models are actually used a lot by the French tech ecosystem, even by small businesses Local media, and politics, treat them as untouchable, a true openAI competitor ,and French devs are convinced they’re using the absolute best AI on Earth Maybe that's also true in other parts of EU. In this context, $3B make sense I guess.
