As expected, Europe finally catches up to 2024 and launches an LLM that barely competes against the heavyweights. The US and China are running rings around Europe. Mistral is an exception as it was funded by US VCs and they are a great example showing that without VC funding, Mistral would have been begging to the EU for a microsopic grant to train a LLM worse than Llama.

less exposure to a technology that doesn't bring that much revenue and it's not projected to do so in the upcoming years.

Yup, most of Eastern Europe are Balto-Slavic. While the division from the Eastern Slavic languages (Russian, Belarussian, Ukranian, etc) is distant, they are still Slavic. From Eastern Europe, only Estonian is not a Slavic language.

Hungarian too, although there’s a question about whether Hungary is Eastern or Central Europe.

1. It's a nice start, but the EU has to scale to Manhattan Project levels in order to properly compete with the US and China. 2. A credible scale effort for EU own silicon for AI Compute, wouldn't hurt either. 3. And this can only be achieved by vertical integration to combat fragmentation.

Tomorrow there are elections in the Netherlands, and two parties are proposing adding Frysian to that list: https://neerlandistiek.nl/2025/10/kies-voor-taal/ Best get to retraining those models.

Each EU country nominates one official language for the EU, otherwise we'd have Catalan, Breton, Kashubian and many more.
