Ecosia drops Mistral AI over nuclear power use

Original: And... # ecosia has dropped # Mistral because it "uses # nuclear " and that is "not renewable". --______________________

Berlin-based search engine Ecosia has ended its partnership with French AI firm Mistral, reportedly because Mistral's computing relies on nuclear energy, which Ecosia does not consider renewable. The move, covered by Politico, highlights growing scrutiny of the energy footprint of AI providers, with critics and supporters debating whether nuclear power should count as sustainable.

Why now: Ecosia's decision to cut ties with Mistral over nuclear energy has sparked debate about what counts as renewable energy in AI.
