• Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch warns Europe of 'leftovers' if it quits frontier AI.
• Europe has fallen behind the US in AI development due to smaller capital markets and a fragmented business environment.
• Mistral aims to compete by using open-source models for lower costs and greater data control.
• Mensch spoke on the European Technology Network talk show on 20 October.
• Europe could face a 'big trade balance problem' if it relies on American or Chinese AI models.
