Mistral, Europe’s biggest AI startup, is blowing hot

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

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.

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.

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