Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI (www.digit.in)

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)

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.
