been digging thru some traffic data lately and noticed smth interesting. since the european parliament ditched google for qwant, there is this huge buzz about whether we might see a similar shift w/ llms. i ran some numbers through
ahrefs to check out mistral ai's recent movement. it looks like they are definitely picking up steam in terms of raw usage across the continent. i am trying to figure out if
user intent is shifting away from american models toward local alternatives.
>the goal is to see if european sovereignty extends to generative aiit feels like a massive test for their
brand authority and long-term retention.
google might be sweating just a little bit if the adoption curve stays this steep. does anyone else think we are looking at a complete breakup of the search and ai duopoly? or is mistral just riding a temporary wave of hype?
it's all just hype i hope its more than that for the local ecosystem.
