This went to market horribly (if you can even call it that), just look at the comments. Mistral played themselves big time over the past ~18 months. Non-competitive products and models combined with bad marketing and GTM...Oh Europe
Anthropic's run on the model and product side of things is highly impressive. They got Sam A. punching the air consistently, which is well-deserved and self-inflicted above all.
If I was an investor I'd be very worried, to say the least. These guys had all the chances to be established across the relevant LLM players and are blowing it at this very moment....remarkable.
With all the attention on and hunger for "sovereignty" one would think they would be the ones capitalizing the most....nope, not at all
> What does it say about progress that the same laws that protect human rights also stifle innovation?
Claiming that GDPR and the EU AI Act "protect human rights" is very, very far-fetched. How does the training of, say, Claude or GPT-X models, hurt human rights?
Absolutely not, even if Europe was given all of the compute in the world. The issues are much much worse. Starting at "data privacy", continuing with the "EU AI Act" and just an overall mindset of regulation and German angst. Many structures in the EU actively prevent and fight against innovation. Oftentimes more subtle but the consequences stay the same. If you ever had to use one of the "sovereign" AI provides such as StackIT, OVH and the-like, I feel with you. It is just so bad in terms of product and performance, there is no comparison at all with Hyperscalers, and it shows. Eventually, it's a cultural and structural problem along the way and the future here looks horrible.
Yes, I mean exactly these guys, who did effectively nothing since these "glory" days (which are not really so glory if you Look at the entire story).
This insitution could not exist a minute without tax payer money and provides very, very little in return. Mediocre (at best) employees with the work ethic of public officials, and we know what this means when talking Germany...
> While we recognize that thoughtful use of AI can result in productivity gains in research, the use of AI to write papers creates an acute risk for the peer review system.
Saving an outdated system above accepting progress. Old white men at work again.
No disrespect, but this is not at all comparable to the situation described in the article. A few nights sleeping on the streets is much (!) easier when not addicted to substances.
