Its a really good sign that this worked out at all. And the takeaways are enlightening

- EU domain registrars might have some bullshit under the hood making the same TLDs more expensive. Might need to investigate - eu needs its own mobile app ecosystem, easy auth, and genAI offerings - - but interested to see why mistral wasnt feasible - other things need to be scaled up to have the community and maturity to function well. This come with time and adoption

Id love if this took off. If more and more people did this

Mistral seems great and offers great functionality and maybe fair pricing. However, I have used their LLM API (Le Chat?) in a project and unfortunately the API times out sooooo often. I had to add retry logic and have timeouts of 5 minutes and such, and sometimes there is just never a response from the API. If they could make that more stable ...

(I am using their official Python client library.)

Have you tried Mistral? Admittedly I've only used it twice but I was disappointed. It feels like comparing openoffice to word 20 years ago - does the job but at an obvious compromise
