For a defense project we're working on, we basically have a hard requirement to use european cloud provider + european llm

We cannot use open source LLMs on-prem, I asked. So that's basically a hard requirement to use mistral, even though Chinese models are strictly better on every dimension.

Is there a rationale behind why not on prem? Boogeyman fears about LLMs? No hardware? Or do you mean, no Chinese LLMs?
