As much as Copilot sucks, I think Microsoft has the right idea. Model is a dumb pipe, basically an ISP. The actual value is what's built over top of it, and packaged up nicely for an enterprise to buy off the shelf and be immediately useful. I imagine a future where picking an LLM model is no different from choosing who my internet provider at home is. They all do the same thing with varying levels of reliability, customer service, speed, etc.

Fallen way behind in what, exactly? Before you answer it might be a good idea to look at what Mistral's core competencies are look at what Chinese models do, and decide if they are even in the same race.
The founders are grifting and trying to secure funding under the guise of sovereignty to protect their market power in Europe.
Nonsense!

That's kind-of what sovereignty is: protecting European market power from external forces. It sucks that the funding is coming from US oligarchs though.
