Yes and they are open about it. That is why they are building their own data centers in Paris and other places.

That’s true, but as their model quality is behind Kimi K2.6 or Deepseek v4, I believe it makes more sense to consume those Chinese models from a European hosting company like Scaleway, than to consume Mistral’s models hosted on US cloud providers, except if you see that Mistral subscription as a kind of investment into Mistral for them to buy infra in the future. That is, if your goal is to “consume” AI on European soil.
Behind Deepseek R1 by far, they are at least 1 year late in model's performance.
