    I don’t know what models power Lumo, but Mistral is so far behind the competition it’s not even funny.

      Mistral Medium 3.5 isn’t that far behind comparable current open weight models.

        Maybe, but Mistral is a commercial company that offers commercial products that can’t really compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and the others. That’s what I meant.

          I’m curious as to why you say that? I use Le Chat and to me it feels exactly like ChatGPT or Claude, it can code well, translate, search online, everything.

            Subjectively, it feels similar to models we used a year or two ago. Not that drastically different from what Anthropic and OpenAI offer today, but slightly worse. For instance, for complex coding tasks it offers basic solutions, while Claude often offers more options and details - as if it knows more.

            Objectively, benchmarks. Mistral looks comparable to other open weight models (as another user mentioned), but not as good otherwise.

              I see, that’s about the time they all got so good that I stopped trying to keep up with the latest benchmarks. It works perfectly for my needs so I definitely wouldn’t dismiss it for anyone wanting to switch to a European alternative.

                Sure, totally depends on your needs. But it’d be great if we had one of them frontier models in Europe.
