True, but the newest mistral model is already pretty great
By the way: People have started questioning the numbers. Seems it’s not super clear whether Deepseek told the truth. And IMO the implications aren’t that clear either. If you can do the final training run of a singular model for $5 million… It still might require your parent company to build a datacenter for $1.6 billions and then rent the GPUs to you for $2 an hour. So it’s not like Europe can cough up a few millions and compete with OpenAI.
(German article here. But all of this is more speculation than anything else. At least as of now: https://www.heise.de/news/DeepSeek-V3-Entwicklung-soll-viel-teurer-gewesen-sein-10267750.html )
but eu has ai factories now 😃

Are those proposals, or are they being built, or running already?
I think they need to be built still tbh
but i don’t think this will be a fix, there are more structural issues in the EU
EU is behind on chip making, software, space race, EV’s, AI, <insert next big thing America or China invents>etcetc
They will continue to be behind China and America so long as it’s more difficult to do business and more difficult to raise money
