Critically, Mistral Compute aims to provide a competitive edge to entire industries and countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the entire Southern Hemisphere that have been waiting for an alternative to US or China-based cloud and AI providers. This applies equally to the global entities of US or Chinese companies that want to serve international customers, particularly in Europe, with AI that is operating and running regionally.
By all means avoid the most egregious, but aren’t basically all online services hosted on AWS/Azure/GCP anyways?
Nope. Your feddit is not. The EU cloud services are listed here (and others) are not. Tuta is not.
I don’t think any of the alternatives listed here use AWS/Azure/GCP. I did not check the search engines, music streaming, mubi.com, and Collabora.
The only thing I found is that OnlyOffice allows to connect to GCP and AWS (you need to enable it on your own): https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/workspace/administration/control-panel-storage.aspx
And Mistral is available on AWS, Azure, GCP, but that’s because it is an “open-source” LLM ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That’s actually amazing, thank you for the insight.
