    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’s strong suite is that it can use most, if not all European languages. Also Mistral’s basic architecture is much more (cost & energy) effective due to the use of their use of seperate expert nodes iirc.

      I was a paying customer of Mistral for about a year, it’s quiet good… but nevertheless I moved to Google this month. Gemini is - at least in my experience - simply oh so much better…
