There's only one thing they need to replace if they want to show independence: ChatGPT. They had their chance with Mistral and failed spectacularly with just creating anti-AI regulations.

As a European I'm happy to use their product (and pay for it), I just ask one tiny little thing from them: build a better model with lower latency.

No. No one really gives a shit about AI other than the tech industry and vocal CEO culture which is just using it to bury recession and regular lay offs. Otherwise it's novelty value and frustration but no one is going to use it or pay enough for it to be viable as an economic backbone.

There are many more important things to consider. Like literally everything else society sits on top of.

That's mighty impossible for the european mindset - people here are not so risk-eager as to through hundreds of billions on infrastructure for something that might return a profit.

What failed with Mistral?

Which anti-AI regulations are we talking about, and don't these apply to any solution distributed in the European Union, hence also to American ones?

Before or after the bubble pops?

What does chatgpt has over competitors again? Besides a deranged ceo of course

I think the idea of a Eurostack is more compelling: standard office productivity tools that aren't beholden to Microsoft, Apple, or Google. That means email, calendar, spreadsheets, word processing, slide decks, video conferencing.

Imagine if every government and corporation in the eurozone stopped paying for Windows licenses and O365 subscriptions.

LibreOffice exists, of course, but it lacks an alternative to Outlook and Teams/Zoom. It would benefit from a benevolent corporate sponsor with deeper pockets than TDF which AFAIK is purely volunteer-driven.

1. ChatGPT is shit

2. We prefer anti-AI regulations and not having a stupid Musk indoctrinating half the country
