I'm all for supporting our EU businesses, but people should also be aware who are the investors behind some of these apps/softwares, etc. For instance, Microsoft invests in the company and more importantly Andreessen Horowitz (which backed the Trump campaign with millions and millions of USD).

Several weeks ago I took a very (very) brief moment to consider which model might be the least bad and settled on Mistral.

I think probably the only reason for that is that I don't know anything about them whereas I already hate google, meta, OpenAI, et cetera.

Should I stick with mistral for the time being or is there some other model I should be looking at ?

Not that I am aware of, I am sticking to Mistral too

AMDs open source offering is interesting. Will see how that goes.
