Maybe I'm missing something. Doesn't seem super impressive to me. A proprietary model with performance comparable to GPT-6 Luna and Deepseek 4.1 Flash, but at a higher price than either. The main selling point is that it's made in Europe... not very compelling, globally. I suppose maybe there is some niche where European-hosted open-weight models aren't enough to satisfy some EU regulation, where only the use of European-trained models is in compliance, but as a non-European I have no idea what that niche would be.

Side note: Wish this thread was more focused on talking about the model instead of debating about China and America. Whatever happened to staying on-topic?
