It’s not that I don’t agree with you, I am just pointing out why it’s hard to catch up to scaling laws given the European economic (capital) and political (US would be upset if they found out Europeans distill) constraints. China is only bound by economic constraints.

It seems like the EU should have paid China for the distillation datasets, esp. since Mistral isn’t even a governmental org.
