Every time I tried a Mistral model I was left rather underwhelmed and just went back to the usual options. Seems like their only USP at this point is Made in EU.

Speed and cost is a relevant factor. I have pipelines that need to execute tons of completions and has to produce summaries. Mistral Small is great at it and the responses are lightning fast.
For that use case if you went with US models it would be way more expensive and slow while not offering any benefit at all.
