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.

They are also releasing model weights for most of their models, where companies like Antropic and until recently OpenAI were FUDing the world that open source will doom us all.

Mistral smartest model is still behind Google, Antropic but they will catch up.

Not a big deal, but FYI there's an 'h' in the company name "Anthropic".

Inspired by the Greek word for human: Anthropos / ἄνθρωπος, the same etymology as English words like anthropology, the study of humans.

(I'd hazard a guess that your first language is something like a Romance language such as French, where people would pronounce that "anthro..." as if there is no h? So a particularly reasonable letter to forget when typing!)

We generally kept the traces of the original latin/greek in the french spelling. It's "anthropologie" in french, but "antropología" in spanish, or "antropologia" in italian and portuguese.

Which makes it particularly hard to write, compared to other latin languages.

Interesting! French is the only one I'm familiar with, and just assumed it was representative of the others. Thanks for the extra context
