At this point I lost all hope for Europe playing any significant role in the AI race. If that’s a good or a bad thing I don’t know, but it seems to me like that’s the reality.
It's not a race. You don't get anything for winning.
The chinese did it better, mistral is alive thanks to regulations.
i.e. it's one AI company that's basically guaranteed to never fail since it has a market niche guaranteed by European companies and governments.
After stuff like Chat Control I think they're obviously seeing a big demand for this kind of "internet safety" technology in Europe.

It's red queen. You stay alive by winning, you lose everything by losing.
Race dynamics increases p(doom) for everyone.
The non-doom scenarios include "utopia for all", and "power flows to investors, not citizens of whichever nation the winning model's corp. was registered in".
Independently, "oh look all the investors went bankrupt" can happen in both "doom" and "normal technology" timelines.

3.5 usd/1000 pages is just too expensive…

How about "being able to align ASI somewhat to your values"?
With a lot of Chinese nationals in American companies, and an American corporation owning DeepMind, and a lot of people very upset with all of them at the same time, this is very messy.
I've got a scan from a book that I OCR with new releases. Ligatures, critical sigla, Fraktur letterforms, subscripts, superscripts, etc. Nothing special about this model for overly-detailed work like mine. It's been a while since I last tested (and discontinued my subscription), but the "pro" models from OpenAI dominate. Not surprising, given the price difference, but it would be nice if an OCR-specific model could p…
For anyone interested, I have an ocr pipeline running on rented GPUs, doing around 1000pages for 0.05-01 usd with around 0.8 seconds per page with full bounding boxes support for grounding. If you’re interested you can find contact to me via this profile. 3.5 usd/1000 pages is just too expensive…
1000 Pages / 3.5€ this is expensive as hell. If this is not fastly superior than something like tesseract it is not worth it.

Their hosted, API-based service is something like a third of the cost of this model.
