But the benchmarks don’t actually show it beating every Chinese model? Oh well, still cool

What the hell guys? :)
Is this for your personal data centre???
Just having them be comparable is great, I’ve been very appreciative of China for keeping open weights cutting edge but monopolies are never good in the long run. Bring on the competition.
Having one strong European company in the race is good news from my perspective and their strategy to (at least so far) publish the weights is another plus for me.
It would be so funny if Mistral also ran a distillation attack, but on Chinese models! 😆
You don’t even need to attack, they are open weight. Distill as much as you want.
FYI the ‘Le Chonk’ fat cat meme has been a thing in the localllama community, which I suppose Mistral is referencing. Its a nickname for giant models that only the insane would try to run locally.
And this is supposedly a big deal because Mistral was… not great, for a long time. They basically pioneered the MoE models that got so popular, then faded into irrelevance for a while.
Why is Russia not prominent in the AI race? Too busy with war?
A bunch of their data centers just inexplicably exploded and burned down so whatever prominence they might have had until now is probably going to fade a bit more.
Please show some proof that their GPU DCs are affected.
