More diversity in the LLM space is always good. In my experience though, speaking as a native speaker of one of the less-used European languages, Mistral's models already use it pretty well.

I live in a country with 3 national languages and I happen to use all of them + English + another one where most of our clients are based. Mistral is the only model atm which doesn’t make a mess of it all. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t force me to “pretranslate” things.
As a native of another small European language, no state of the art model comes anywhere close to not being laughably bad, so more work in this space is definitely welcomed as far as I'm concerned.
Really? In my experience, Le Chat eventually devolves into spanglish when trying to speak Spanish, so I would have expected worse from Mistral for minority languages.
