Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI
-
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.
-
The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.
-
Used Mistral a few times via Duck.ai. it's barely OK.
-
Brace yourselves, freedom fries V2 incoming...
-
I can't imagine EU-centric results would any better though, likely much worse.
-
How so? For pretty much any application in the EU, EU-centric results are obviously much better?
-
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.
-
Because they need to be honest and adhere to the EU regulations and not be asshole thieves like Muricans and Chinese?
Being "nice" severely limits your options.

I don't think that's what we're talking about? As an example, if I ask an LLM for good spots to get Bratwurst and it recommends places in New York, it's fairly useless to me as a European.
