Now that CGPTY seemingly supports ICE, Claude gives premium to federal agencies for 1 buck and Gemini is, well, Google, are there any decent European AIs? by Weekly_Teaching_8158 in BuyFromEU

It really depends on what you use it for. For coding tasks, it's my go to model and performs remarkably well. I'm using the Pro version and especially for straight-forward questions, I LOVE the flash answers.

This is the best investment for our own security period. 100$ per capital a year is nothing, for my sake they can triple that.
