Strongest argument I see for Mistral is that it's European. Which isn't a very good argument.

It is in regards to the GDPR. If you're a European vendor and process PII, you must ensure some level of data protection. If you want to be on the safe side, you'll pick European providers instead of US hyperscalers (who have EU data centers, but are still US owned).

True, but we should also remember that some services like the fast responses and the image generations (may?) run in US data centres also for Mistral. So that part of the data, in principle, may end up in the ends of other extra European countries.

This said, I am really supportive of Mistral, like their work, and hope that they will get more recognition and more EU-centric institutional support.
