Update, July 1, 2026: The hardest example below has partly unwound. The US lifted the export controls on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on June 30, and Fable 5 returned globally on July 1; Mythos 5 is back for a set of approved US organizations. The broader shift this article describes has not reversed, GPT-5.6 is still gated and the June 2 executive order still stands, so the government remains in the release path even as these two models come back online. The newest AI models are no longer shipping the moment they are ready. On June 25, 2026, OpenAI agreed to release GPT-5.6 only to a small group […]

Le Chaton Fat is a fake AI model, and that is the whole point. For about a week in June 2026, AI Twitter and Reddit were flooded with launch graphics, leaked benchmarks, and breathless threads about a new Mistral frontier model called Le Chaton Fat. The name mashes French and English together for “the fat kitten.” It had 30 trillion parameters, scored higher than every rival on charts that looked just real enough, and ran at a claimed 1,000 meows per second. None of it exists. There are no weights, no API, and no product page. This article explains what Le Chaton Fat actually is, where the joke came from, […]

Mistral AI pricing runs on two separate tracks, and the headline number is hard to beat. The Le Chat consumer app starts at $0/month and tops out at $14.99/month for Pro, while the developer API charges per million tokens, starting around $0.10. That makes Mistral one of the cheapest ways to reach a frontier model in 2026, and the flagship Mistral Large 3 undercuts GPT-5.5 by roughly 90% on input and 95% on output. This guide breaks down every price you care about, the four Le Chat plans, the full API rate card per million tokens, the free tier limits, and how the numbers stack up against ChatGPT, Claude, and […]

In December 2025, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, added generative AI to its search results with two features, AI Overviews and AI Chat. The move split its audience instantly. Some users welcomed a greener way to use AI, while many long-time fans pushed back hard, calling it the one thing a climate-focused search engine should never touch. This guide explains exactly what Ecosia AI is, which models run it, whether it actually uses water, and how it stacks up against ChatGPT. You will also get the four-step process to turn AI off completely if you would rather keep your search clean. We have pulled every figure from Ecosia’s […]
