In a world of grok inserting south african genocide talking points into random unrelated questions...

A french AI that randomly throws in croissant recipies & serving suggestions could be a funny rebuke.

I use it all the time for my llm demands (trivial explanations and other smaller prompts)

works like a charm, dont really miss other llm's. sometimes (1 in 100+ prompts) I catch myself comparing to other llm's for "better" answers and then always I realize this is not a good thing to ask llm's anyways (reliability, research confirmation needed, etc)

can recommend!

I also have a good experience with mistral

Agreed, I also use their code suggestion model instead of Github Copilot since a while and it works nicely

I don't know how other models maybe catched up as well, but I was surprised how well it handled math related questions. If it was too complicated it simply wrote a script which it executed itself and gave me the answer in text

Can access this via Duck AI, and compare to other models on the fly.

Mistral's model available on Duck AI is Mistral Small 3 (there's 3.1 already but not on Duck AI - it's open source though), they have other models too you can check out on a page their differences

I use it. The iOS app is bad (on my phone at least) where it often claims network error and then forget the prompt I just wrote. It’s so annoying!
