I've been using Mistral small/large a lot instead of ChatGPT. Coding capability is OK-ish. I feel like Mistral has more willingness to chat about controversial topics.

Free inference too, definitely try it out if you haven't: chat.mistral.ai

Have you been using it locally or on a platform of some kind?

Ahh thank you. I’m not technical so my next project is to get my own personal LLM on my machine.
