I consider myself a skeptic, but if you really gotta use AI I think le chat is the way to do it for any european.

French AI Company? Obviously Reuters knows English better than me, so please enlighten me how that headline is correct!

This is a somewhat common practice in headlines (in English, at least), but would not be used in normal writing. It's similar to how headlines almost never use the word "and", instead replacing it with a comma. If I go to Reuters' website just now I can quite quickly find headlines about "UK rocket maker Orbex", "South Korea crypto exchange", and "Argentina unions".
That said, there are also a lot of headlines (including on Reuters) that don't do this, and I have no idea what decides when it is or isn't applied. I can just reassure you that no, this is not you misunderstanding English, it's just a weird convention for news headlines specifically

Is this SEO? Or some old-style SEO-like thingy?

It's far too old a practice to be that

1.4 billion, so like 10 severs fully loaded with ram and like two video cards.

Is that big, small moderate?

I could not find a proper way to Mistral as a coding agent without a corporate licence, in IDEs like Intellij Idea (their plugin even has Enterprise in the name), unlike other US LLMs, like Gemini.
Until they allow individual developers to do so easily, they are naively gate keeping Codestral and any coding relevant features.
Edit: I would gladly use their AI if it were more open for this use case.

I like that they make servers somewhere with like 99% carbon-free electricity and low water stress.
