Just tried Le Chat for some coding issues I had today that ChatGPT (with GPT-4) wasn't able to solve, and Le Chat actually gave way better answers. Not sure if ChatGPT quality has gone down to save costs as some people suggest, but for these few problems the quality of the answers was significantly better for Mistral.

I just did a 1:1 copy of some of my ChatGPT chats with Mistral Large (always posting the same questions), and while it is really, really good, it's still not as good as GPT4.

I feel like ChatGPT has a better way of figuring out what I want to know and provides better examples.

I also preferred GPT4's code.

Then Le Chat has some usability issues, like a too thin font and a too high contrast in dark mode.

But overall, I could live with it should ChatGPT go offline.

I might as well be hallucinating but my personal experience is that GPT-4 got sucessively worse than what it was at launch date at least for general things. Nowadays it just refuse to answer a lot of things and lost the ability to do holistic "reasoning" (bridging knowledge from different areas).
