German search engine Ecosia is replacing Mistral with open-weight AI models, including Chinese-developed Qwen, GLM and Kimi, through a partnership with German AI platform Melious. Founder and CEO Christian Kroll said the switch had roughly halved costs while improving quality and performance.
They were on ClosedAI before, so that’s basically US/Israeli propaganda slop. They only used Mistral for a few months and it turned out Mistral just doesn’t work much of the time. China is the only remaining player.
