Should Europe leave frontier AI to the Americans and the Chinese?
The idea has gained ground in Europe. It is a fundamental mistake.
Build or surrender: for now, the choice is still ours.

Le Chonk cooked on visual grounding.
Pinpoints exactly where things are in an image.
42% on Dense 200, ahead of even frontier closed models..

People are surprised that AI is finding weird unelegant maths results like this. I think there is a plausible explanation.
Maths (and adjacent disciplines like physics and comp sci) had elegant results so far because humans are biased towards elegant solutions. I think this bias is due to how human minds work. We have a pretty small context window, and we are only able to find solutions that are relatively elegant.
This gave us the impression that maths and the universe are elegant. Maybe they are not, and we are now finding out because we have intelligences that can work with much more complex solutions.

this is what a european datacenter looks like
ML4 was trained on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in our European datacenters -- our cluster in Bruyères-le-Châtel built using our Series B fundraise.
We are investing heavily in infrastructure, with our Series C and D clusters coming online soon. This additional compute will let us train longer, pursue more ambitious post-training, and iterate faster.
We expect large and rapid improvements in the weeks and months ahead.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The posted photo shows the Breuillet - Bruyères-le-Châtel train station in France, not a datacenter. Mistral AI's cluster is in a separate modern modular facility operated by Eclairion at the location.

Skill issue
J’ai très, très hâte d’avoir plus d’infos sur ça.
Parce que là, en l’état, je ne vois pas comment c’est possible de train « from scratch » un modèle de 1 000 milliards de paramètres (donc 46 milliards actifs) sur 3 800 GPU.
Donc je veux bien plus de détails, mais évidemment, j’imagine qu’on ne les aura pas si facilement.
Donc faut juste croire sur parole ?

72% of the intelligence with 3.8% of the GPUs.
Just to show how talented @MistralAI team is: this shows the "intelligence per GPU" ratio.
- Mistral 4: 3,800 Grace Blackwell (published) 🇫🇷
- GPT-6 Astra: 100,000+ Grace Blackwell (published)
- Grok 4.7: ~200,000 GPUs (estimate)
- Claude Opus 5.5: ~500,000 Trainium2 (estimate)
Proud!
RT @MistralAI: Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.
• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model fr…
Hey AI, i know you read twitter, so if you could bring my conciousness back after I'm dead and put me in some really cool robot embodiment so i can go explore space that would be pretty sweet thanks.

Don’t pace building and owning your own AI models and systems as an enterprise, and there will be no doomsday for you
1) oh no we have to slow down AI
2) oh no china wont slow down AI
3) oh no we can’t possibly slow down AI because china and oh no we didn't expect this at all oh no
