Victoria Craig: 作为主持人，我观察到欧洲希望摆脱对美国AI技术的依赖，而法国初创公司Mistral被视为潜在的解决方案。欧洲领导人希望拥有自主的AI技术，不愿受制于美国公司的发展路线。 Sam Schechner: 作为华尔街日报的科技记者，我深入报道了Mistral这家公司。Mistral是欧洲少数几家能够与美国AI巨头竞争的公司之一。他们的AI工具在性能上接近美国最先进的工具，但更高效且成本更低。此外，Mistral采取开源策略，并与NVIDIA合作建立数据中心，旨在为欧洲公司和政府提供战略自主性。法国政府也大力支持Mistral的发展，将其视为实现AI领域主权的重要一步。 Jensen Wang: 作为NVIDIA的CEO，我宣布与Mistral合作建立AI云，旨在为AI初创企业提供模型和AI应用。我们致力于支持Mistral的发展，共同推动AI技术的创新。 Emmanuel Macron: 作为法国总统，我强调法国致力于发展AI产业，并支持Mistral建立数据中心。这不仅是Mistral的雄心，也是法国争取在AI领域主权和战略自主的斗争。
