I'm all for supporting our EU businesses, but people should also be aware who are the investors behind some of these apps/softwares, etc. For instance, Microsoft invests in the company and more importantly Andreessen Horowitz (which backed the Trump campaign with millions and millions of USD).

I think realistically itโ€™s going to be difficult to find something that ticks all boxes from a political, profit, investor, ceo way etc so at some point itโ€™s about choosing which one is most important to you.

As it happens I moved over to Mistral a couple of weeks ago instead of gpt and itโ€™s been really good for me so far.
