Since I canceled Claude (US boycott) I’m really enjoying https://chat.mistral.ai/ It might be a few months behind quality wise, but it is really fast, which is great for quick searches and brainstorming. It even has a canvas feature now.

This really gives me hope! Great french AI Tool!

    I have to admit, France really stepped up in the past couple of years (and decades regarding nuclear deterrent ;) ). Besides Mistral.ai instead of US AI services, I started to use qwant.com as a replacement for Google search/news. It’s been only a couple of days, but I’d say the quality is about the same/even better (but might be biased due that ongoing Trump shitshow).

    Mistral is the first ChatBot I started using since I did not trust the others from day one. Le Chat is pretty good IMHO for AI starters, although I do not have any comparison with other Bots (I don’t even know what „canvas generation“ means LOL).

    The only downside is, that it’s currently only freely usable on an iPhone. There is a Mac App (Meow), but you will need a paid API Key to use it. If anyone knows a method how to use this free of change on a Mac, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
