I have high hopes for Mistral. They've been working very hard on becoming an open, honest and secure player in the AI game. Being from France and thus having to adhere to the GDPR and EU AI Act. The transparency is also very welcome. They did sign the letter to postpone the EU AI Act by years, which was questionable.
Stepping out and showing the numbers, which are pretty damn hefty, is a ballsy move. Let's hope they also focus on reusing the huge amount of water that gets pulled for cooling, though.
I'm not a fan of AI for its impact on the planet, but numbers like this hopefully makes people aware and consienceous about it. It will probably be here to stay for a good while, so AI companies being honest and working towards a more efficient and greener system will be a welcome treat.
The way they show their equivalence is very useful. The water and materials especially. Though the ghg is a little odd as streaming is in itself a complex web.
