Mistral just acquired Emmi AI, an Austrian startup.
replyGerman and French speaking together at last.
Was EMI specialized in the German language LLMs? Or is it that they're an Austrian lab?
replyEmmi is an Austrian lab specialising in physics AI applications.
replyMistral isn’t specialising in French language LLMs either.
The point was that across different European countries and languages there are collaborations and M&A happening.
The original question was "Yeah but why use mistral on premises instead of Qwen?". I think you and I agree on the answer.
replyI for one would love to see more country-specific models. There was a story here the other day about Norway’s National Library developing a LLM specialized in Norwegian: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48270770
>Similar to how Denmark already has invested in LLMs focused on the Nordic languages with money from Norway.
replyWould love to know more. Do you have a source on this?
