I love that the model is called Le Chat
Mistral AI is pretty cool. French startup, they released quite a few open-weight models that are all available on HuggingFace (although I’ve heard that they don’t perform too well… but anyways)
Le Chat is a good name. It’s also the name of, among other things, I’m sure, a Belgian comic strip.
I’ve done a little work with mistral. Useful when I’m writing unimportant several-page summary emails that I’m nearly certain nobody reads.
Used Mistral a few times via Duck.ai. it’s barely OK.
Interesting… A coworker of mine previously worked on a fintech project that needed to use open models. Apparently their team found the Llama models to be much better than anything Mistral had at the time… I’m hoping Mistral’s new model (the one featured in the news article) is better. Not sure if Le Chat is open weights like the Mistral/Mixtral lines though…
Yeah, I mean, I would love more open source options, but Llama has a lot of research pushing it forward.
Downvote for this “American AI” bullshit. The technology is exactly the same. The dipshits trying to make it an industrial trade are a different thing. Idiotic arguments like this are just as bad.
