Ecosia drops Mistral for Chinese open-source AI
Original: German search engine ditches Mistral, bets on Chinese open-source AI “We are disappointed with the quality of Mistral,”
Berlin-based search engine Ecosia has abandoned French AI startup Mistral as its AI provider and switched to Chinese open-source models. Founder and CEO Christian Kroll told POLITICO the company was disappointed with the quality of Mistral's output. The move highlights growing competition from Chinese open-source AI, which European firms are increasingly choosing over domestic alternatives.
Why now: A European company publicly rejecting a leading European AI startup in favour of Chinese models raises questions about Europe's AI competitiveness.
