US American here, but I am super impressed with Mistral's Le Chat and nowadays vastly prefer it over Open AI's Chat GPT and Claude AI. (lemmy.world)

Kudos to France and Mistral AI for genuinely creating an amazing European alternative to Chat GPT! Le Chat gives some incredibly detailed and intricate responses that I cannot seem to get from Chat GPT. I am genuinely impressed at the outputs that Le Chat produces to miscellaneous questions. I still use Google Gemini because of their Veo-3 video output, but if it weren't for that, I would not give a penny to Google for their unscrupulous antics. I just hope it is not unusual that Le Chat is now my most preferred AI LLM.

I very much appreciate you designating yourself as a US American as there are 35 countries in the continent of America (Yes, I know that the US teaches there are two continents withing America) and the rest of us often feel miffed that we get flack when we claim we are Americans also.

Wish their local models improved as much. Mixtral was great. The recent ones fall apart to repetition almost immediately, among other issues.

I have zero experience with Le Chat or Mistral - would you mind expanding on that? Do you mean blocks of text are repeated or whole answers or something else?

I'll give an example reply, though it'll be shorter.

"Of course! The best way to give an answer is to be specific and to-the-point. Remember, specific answers are best. Specifically a specific one. Specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific specific"

Or they'll be so locked in to an answer that no amount of changing up your samplers could change the outcome. They are really stubborn.

Thanks - yeah that’s a significant issue. Hopefully they’ll fix it

Le Chat means "the cat" in French. It's a play on words.

How did cats ever get designated masculine?

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's a so-called generic masculine. If the gender is unknown, masculine is used.

However people tend to mostly use the masculine chat over the feminine chatte for the same reason English speakers prefer to use the word cat over the word pussy, when speaking about the animals.

For when referring to a male cat. A female cat would be “La Chatte”

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Yes, but when the gender is unknown, cat is masculine.
