    I’m using it, all I know is it’s called “Le Chat”, is that what’s meant by model? - as you can tell I’m not very technical.

    I use it for generic simple queries. No idea how it compares with the others as I’ve not used them. I’m using it, as the title suggests "they’re not American*

      I see. Mistral was the favorite in self-hosted LLM circles back in 2023-2024 but general opinion is that they have since been far surpassed by Chinese and American models, hence my question.

      Good to know they’ve found a market with their online offering.

        Depends on what you are looking for. Mistral strong suite is that it can use most if not all European languages for example. Most AI’ s can’t do this yet. Also Mistral’s basic architecture is much more (cost & energy) effective due to the use of their experts nodes iirc.
