OpenAI's Ex-Stars Build Chatbot Just for Europeans, Because Why Not?
In a dazzling two-year sprint, a scrappy startup founded by former DeepMind and Meta brainiacs decided the open source AI party needed a European VIP lounge. Enter Le Chat, not just any chatbot, but one meticulously crafted for European sensibilities, probably with a side of polite small talk about the weather and cheese. While OpenAI chugs along globally, these visionaries bet on regional charm, launching from OpenAI's shadows in a classic Silicon Valley plot twist. It's like the AI Twilight Zone where ex-giants launch a startup rival, but only for Europeâbecause who doesnât want their chatbots with a passport and an accent?
