Mistral's Le Chat tops 1M downloads in just 14 days
- jiehong 2y agoThe information from the content of the article is not much different from the title. I think I wasted my time reading it this time. Just my opinion.

- mvdtnz 2y agoDon't post AI slop in Hacker News comments.
- irjustin 2y agoSeparately Gemini's Flash is $0.10/1m tokens. which is bonkers compared to Chat's $3.50/1m. Quality gap for sure but a 35x gap? Definitely worth testing for your use case.
- mvdtnz 2y agoGemini is so bad it's literally unusable. I can't think of any situation in which I could accept the quality of the output of Gemini, no matter how low the cost.
- irjustin 2y agoIs this Gemini 2? Because we've been testing and for our tagging duse case it's been quite quite good. 4o still out performs by 4% (86% vs 90%) but it's acceptable for us given the 35x decrease in cost. We've been able to get 88% on gemini-pro so we're still debating which one we will finalize on given speed, cost, accuracy.
- mnewme 2y agoGreat app
- anon373839 2y agoMistral's partnership with Cerebras for inference hardware has received less commentary than I expected. They're basically blowing the competition out of the water, with Le Chat getting 1,100+ tokens per second of per-user throughput.
- lis 2y agoYes, I'm really impressed by the speed as well. A bit more about the collaboration can be found here: https://cerebras.ai/blog/mistral-le-chat https://cerebras.ai/blog/mistral-le-chat
- thih9 2y agoFor those that haven’t, best to see it yourself - it is visibly, significantly faster: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat https://chat.mistral.ai/chat
- Mekoloto 2y agoThats just crazy. I'm curious when someone will do the right experiment in a way that some LLM on Cerebras will do the reasoning so well so big so fast, that it does something very novel
- ggm 2y agoI have found testing coding prompts in mistral and Claude lets me pick, they differ in some details of how to implement my goals (python3, numpy, matplotlib, json, requests sourced data, CSV handling, linear regression) They are similar speed. I am probably travelling the well worn road so in some equivalent of the LRU cache
- mrtksn 2y agoThe Le Chat Web UI, after having some code and text generated, slowed down to unusable levels for me(the UI itself, probably has some JS code that goes through all the DOM every time). That's why I downloaded the app. Generally, I feel like all the AI models are about the same at this point. Grok in Twitter has the ability to access real time events information but the rest seems to be interchangeable at this point. I pay for ChatGPT for higher usage limits, then use all the rest for different things in order to keep history for different things separated(not because one is better than the other in the smartness department).
- mgnn 2y agoIt's funny. Le Chat's gaslighting me in French. Claims Mistral develops ChatGPT when answering in French, but OpenAI when in English. For your amusement too: https://imgur.com/EgmQ0Ph https://imgur.com/EgmQ0Ph
- ArtTimeInvestor 2y agoWhy is it not on the LLM leaderboard? https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard Do they not take part, or is the list not complete?
- Reubend 2y agoThey're on there, but using the model name rather than the service name. For instance, "Mistral-Large-2407" has an elo of 1252 at the time of writing.
- conradfr 2y agoIt should be noted that as a customer of the French ISP Free you get a one year free subscription of Le Chat Pro (Free CEO Xavier Niel is an investor). That probably helped downloads.
- darthrupert 2y agoJust switched my paid plan over from chatgpt to mistral for the warm fuzzy feelings. C'est genial!
- attentive 2y agoTheir websearch is bad. See https://chat.mistral.ai/chat/01a9ee32-a8fe-4305-8f74-a5af959ad37b https://chat.mistral.ai/chat/01a9ee32-a8fe-4305-8f74-a5af959... as an example. Try the same on other chats with websearch.
- Marlinski 2y agoMistral is great, I love their image generation and speed at which it replies. They really don't benefit as much hype from the others contenders but it feels like they are the silent undertaker.
- 112233 2y agoYes, Flux Ultra is great, too bad they do not allow to access the "raw" mode. Here is me trying (and finally succeeding) to persuade Le Chat to generate image using filename as a prompt... https://chat.mistral.ai/chat/9940f6bf-b2e5-4db2-bb64-adcbd9f461f9 https://chat.mistral.ai/chat/9940f6bf-b2e5-4db2-bb64-adcbd9f... I mean... "pretty please" as a debugging technique. I kind of do not look forward to my future conversations with tea kettle and door knob.
- moralestapia 2y ago0.1% market share. Cute.
- drpossum 2y agoI stopped doing business with Mistral when I got an API subscription and then watched one of their devs break and try to fix their oauth live over several hours over what clearly was something they didn't bother trying in a non-prod environment.
