alt Hacker News> but since they introduced 3rd party models, added more features (now Responses API etc.) and improved their own model, we are quite happy-
Yeah, serving GLM is a pretty good play on their side. I know they have been criticized for it ("so, you're just reselling GLM...") but it seems practical as in it helps EU companies use it.
I have absolutely no problem with them hosting and selling GLM as an offering, it just makes sense for them to do this as an option. As a long time subscriber however, I don't like at all that they have started using GLM as the default model in the Vibe app (formerly Le Chat), with seemingly no way to switch to Mistral's own model. I'm paying a monthly subscription to Mistral explicitly to use a European tool in my daily non technical LLM needs. This feels off and I'm reconsidering my subscription. If all they are giving me is a hosted Chinese model, I can probably get that cheaper elsewhere.
