My main beef with mistral is that they don’t bother to respond to customer inquiries for products the hide behind “reach out for pricing” terms, so even if they were better than SoTA it wouldn’t really matter.
Agreed. In this case the offering just fit neatly into a non core stack we had designed and displaced a bunch of stuff didn’t want to build ourselves.
I also hate dealing with sales people and am not going to reach out to them via another avenue as they will try and posture as if they’re doing us a huge favor (in contrast to me begging gdb for gpt4 api access).
