Mistral models though are not interesting as models. Context handling is weak, language is dry, coding mediocre; not sure why would anyone chose it over Chinese (Qwen, GLM, Deepseek) or American models (Gemma, Command A, Llama).

Data privacy is a thing - in Europe.

Command A is Canadian. Also mistral models are indeed interesting. They have a pretty unique vision model for OCR. They have interesting edge models. They have interesting rare language models.

And also another reason people might use a non-American model is that dependency on the US is a serious business risk these days. Not relevant if you are in the US but hugely relevant for the rest of us.

I flip back and forth with Claude and Le Chat and find them comparable. Le Chat always feels very quick and concise. That's just vibes not benchmarks.

I haven't used it much, but I did find Le Chat to be FAST in a way that I don't always get with ChatGPT.
