No. Mistral is strong, but the compute and talent arms race is being won by OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
Agreed. Mistral's open-weight play is cool but EU capital and energy constraints make it hard to keep pace with frontier scaling runs.
I believe science thrives on patient, ethical work and collaboration, not a race of compute among a few giants.
Not so fast. Edge comes from division of labor, price discipline, and open competition; big compute alone won't seal the race, and nimble players can still outpace giants.
