Hard to see how can Mistral compete with Meta, they have order of magnitude less compute, their models are only slightly better (at least on the benchmarks) with less permissive licenses?

In Europe, they are basically the only LLM API provider that is GDPR compliant. This is a big factor here, when selecting a provider.

Are all the big clouds not GDPR compliant?

Hard to imagine anyone competing with AWS/GCP/Azure for slices of GPUs/TPU. AFAIK, most major models are available a la carte via API on these providers (with a few exclusives). I can’t imagine how anyone can compete the big clouds on serving an API, and I can’t imagine them staying “non compliant” for long.

Maybe, but when selling a SAAS here, big clients will always ask what cloud provider you use. Using an European one is always a plus, if it isn't simply required.
