I’ve been actively using Le Chat for the past week and it’s really good and fast - at least I don’t see any downgrade for my type of usage.

Interesting - what is your usage?

General research and programming

Lol "research" by asking a hallucinating schizophrenic online-human aggregate what is true? 😅 that is a dangerous game

Research usually requires sources - and Le chat provides them. It’s your call to check them and see if you trust them.

I have a similar experience! Fast and reliable. For programming I have the feeling that sometimes it needs a little more input the chatgpt to give perfect results - but the canvas feature is so nice!

Using it for almost two month now, it lacks behind in some reasoning abilities. But is a very good GPT4o Alternative.

I already cancelled my openai subscription in January and moved to Le Chat Pro. It's great! Didn't get to benchmark it yet, but it gives me accepta le results. I hope they continue to improve and maybe even surpass foreign counterparts!

Been using Mistral for a few days now and it can do everything I needed ChatGPT for. Highly recommend.

Used the open-source app GPT4All locally with some Mistral models. It's definitely usable.

Good name, when it comes to cooling

the mistral is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind

I believe the phrase for these worse autocompletes is "steaming pile"

Mistral has taken so much US money and has hired so many US people that it is hard to say whether its really European anymore.
