No amount of $ would improve mistral if they cant fix fundamental flaws. They aren't even on par with chinese models a year ago.

#22I get worried when thinking about Mistral because they make mediocre models and I don't think they will be able to defeat their competition.

Is that who Thiel is talking about? I thought it was just a bible thing.
If you follow the ideology of the Silicon Valley billionaire types, based around Ayn Rand (eg “Atlas Shrugged”) and Curtis Yarvin, as well as what Thiel himself has said over the years, the Antichrist is governmental institutions, seen as the inhibitors of progress. I am not joking btw.
I miss when "reality is stranger than fiction" was a cool phrase because it didn't happen all the time.

Mistral had open-weights SOTA when Chinese labs had no noteworthy LLMs at all, and now even its closed-weights offerings are behind half a hundred Chinese models -- most of them from labs with way less funding -- despite having had unhindered access to Nvidia hardware all this time.
