The chinese labs manage to do it. Mistral should have enough money.
replyThe EU has intentional structural hurdles to pouring money into a predetermined single company. Both hurdles meant to fight corruption and nepotism, and hurdles meant to ensure fairness between the member states. After all, money to Mistral is money to France too, and you don't want countries to abuse such mechanisms
replyIt's not impossible, but China is just much better set up for the nessesary level of government support
China is a way more corrupt country but this might be a benefit of less rules.

replyYou think they're intentionally being bad because they can't manage to pump $65B into a startup on a whim...?
replyYou think well over a year after making grandiose on the record claims is “on a whim”?
replyWhat claims are you talking about?
replyI've never heard or read anything about the EU planning on investing money in Mistral. They're a private company. They're French. It honestly sounds kind of absurd.

replyNo, we want you to backup your claims and provide sources or stop adding pointless low effort anti-EU noise to the conversation. It's frustrating, any time there's any kind of discussion about anything European on HN it gets flooded with shallow, low effort "EU-bad" posts like your contributions here.
replyIf you're going to make that claim at least put some effort in.
This is a mostly American forum and some people want to piss on the EU to elevate themselves. Europeans do the same to the US but about politics, health care, work life balance, and quality of life. You know, the stuff that matters :D
replyFrom what I can see you put in zero effort in a response and you expect me to put in more effort?
replyI already checked for one variation of a google search like I said.
Can you show some proof you did anything at all?
Or maybe they’re just poor.
