As much as I agree with the need for digital independence and the fact that universities (and governments) in Europe are over reliant on US tech, it is not as simple as you describe.
There is a lot more happening in the administrative and infrastructural side of things in most universities that one barely observes as student. So every change needs to take also that into account, the management and maintenance of services and infrastructures that must reliably support thousands of users, with relatively strict privacy and security standards, and their migration.
I use this before submission and recommend others do too. If ai was in charge of arXiv Id have it integrated as an optional part of the submission process.
I do this by hand. In the whole process, cleaning up the TeX before submission is a small step. And I like to keep some comments, like explaining how some Tikz figures are made. Might help someone some day.
META did pirate basically all books in Anna’s archive but if I remember correctly they just whispered a a cried sorry and it ended up as that. Why are they also not asked to pay?
True, but we should also remember that some services like the fast responses and the image generations (may?) run in US data centres also for Mistral. So that part of the data, in principle, may end up in the ends of other extra European countries.
This said, I am really supportive of Mistral, like their work, and hope that they will get more recognition and more EU-centric institutional support.
