Ecosia AI became unavailable with no explanation?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/53779480
I live in Ukraine and have been using Ecosia AI without issues for the past few months, but today it locked me out and said "not available in your region yet", and removed my access to chat history.
This is so weird. It's been here just yesterday. Zero explanation on what happened too.

Ecosia is switching from Mistral to open weights Chinese models hosted somewhere else.
Might just be a temporary effect caused by that...

Dang that’s quite a slap on the face for Mistral
UPD: Ecosia replied this is a bug and fixed the issue.
