Mistral recently being valued at $14 billion in the previous funding appears like a steal to me, especially compared to the Anthropic and OAI valuations. Would be interesting to compare revenues and growth rates as well to put these valuations into better perspective.

Apart from that, Mistral appears to remain the only really relevant new player with European ties in the Gen AI space. Aleph Alpha is not heard of anymore and is essentially steered by the Schwarz Group now, so at least chances of an acquihire I guess.

Aren't there a billion Lovable clones now that do the exact same thing?

I could never get anything useful out of Lovable and was frustrated with the long editing and waiting process.

I'd prefer a site builder template with dropdowns. Lovable feels like that type of product, just with an LLM facade.

I don't hate AI, I just wasn't getting into the groove with Lovable.

Yeah for me Lovable was not really lovable.

I just couldn't love it, and frankly I don't get the hype around it. I recently found that all my use cases can be served by either:

1. A general purpose LLM chat interface with high reasoning capacity (GPT-5 thinking on web is my go to for now)

2. An agent that has unrestricted token consumption running on my machine (Claude Code with Opus and Amp are my go to for now).

3. A fine-tuned, single purpose LLM like v0 that is really good at one thing, in this case at generating a specific UI component with good design aesthetics from a wireframe in a sandbox.

Everything else seems like getting the worst of all worlds.

Lovable has the worst moat I have ever seen for a company.

Our engineer used lovable for about a day, then just cloned the repo and used cursor since it it was much more productive.

Engineers aren't the target audience for Lovable. I see it being used by designers and product managers, and also solopreneur type people, or non-technical folks wanting to build websites or start companies.

One PM I know uses it for designing prototypes then handing them off to the engineering team who then continue them in Claude Code etc.

So it's sorta of competing with Wix, Squarespace, Wordpress, and also prototyping tools like Figma.
