Mistral, Europe’s biggest AI startup, is blowing hot

If I could use it as a voice-enabled assistant instead of Perplexity, it would be great.

I have already deleted Google Translate in favor of DeepL, but at least in Finnish, DeepL, Google Translate or Le Chat’s translations are nothing compared to ChatGPT’s.

If you need translations, use deepL instead.

Fair enough, makes sense

Mistral is named after a wind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistral_(wind)

Bro, do you even Europe?

Oh... Ooooooh.

That is the most obscure attempt at a pun I've ever seen. Holy crap. If your wordplay requires people to be aware of naming conventions for obscure local weather phenomena maybe your joke doesn't really play.

It's a pun on the word "Mistral" .. not a very good one, but funny to an economist I suppose.

Yeah not good when I have to read the comments to understand the headline (since article is pay walled).

That may be the weirdest bit of phrasing I've seen in a headline in a long while. I thought the link was missing a word, but... nope.

Blowing hot .. air?

Yup, switched to le chat too. Not only is it French, but it also figures out when to use deep think by itself and is a lot faster than it’s competitors.

Wether it’s an IQ point smarter or dumber is irreleveant, since every model gets smarter all the time.

Why do I feel like they meant 'glowing' instead of 'blowing'? Weird phrasing

I've been using duck. ai it has mistral and a few others not bad for free.

I cancelled my ChatGPT subscription already and have been trying to make the switch to Le Chat but in some areas— it’s just not there yet. I’m blown away by how fast it is, but one of my main uses is Finnish translation, it’s not so good at it, and also transferring context from chat to chat, the “memories” feature of ChatGPT is a big downer.

I love it when computers blow hot
