I simply registered for the free tier with a temporary e-mail address and it works very well for me in English and German. Without registering you can try out few requests.

Le Chat: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat

I'll give this one a spin. It's already pretty quick (quicker than chatgpt) with the responses :)

I've deleted my OpenAI account today and moved there. It's pretty impressive so far and it doesn't even require you to sign in. I had almost forgotten that there are good and free services that don't try to track you halfway across the internet in exchange.

I didn't know about Mistral, but it seems that I've found a replacement for chatgpt.
