I don't really see why Europe would be special in this regard. I would bet on a non-frontier, late-moving american or chinese company taking on this role before a european one.

~ unfortunately both Anthropic and OAI already do high end "bespoke" consulting work for business clients, the so-called "Mistral approach" is just a crappier version of that unfortunately.

Mistral / Europe just doesn't want to be in the fight.

Just a wet dream of a sleepy old European... How should this work?
