I say this with a slight tongue in cheek, but Mistral does have a better option: they recently added GLM 5.3 to their platform (and it works rather well). Not trained in the EU, though, of course ;-)
replyYeah, absolutely true. And I am guilty of simply using Mistral as a GLM subscription myself. I just really like the GLM 5.3 model.
replyI will see where Chonk is better though, since you have both options in one subscription.
Everything feels very European.
replyUnproductive company that is 3rd place (assuming we are lumping 4 better US models and 3 Chinese models).
The only thing that gives it value is that it's generated in some region in Europe, like random cheese or wine.
But I still can't imagine a usecase outside patriotism.
Privacy can be solved by self hosting a US or Chinese model.
Seems performative.
You are delusional if you think people like a french, italian or swiss cheese just because it was made in said parts of europe.
replyOr you have no taste.
