Glad to see the AI is both European based and optional, that's an improvement over something like Google for sure. And I do feel like more energy efficient AI models are something the world needs about now.

That said, I do question the idea of them having AI for this sort of service in general, due to how anti-ai most of their customerbase probably are. Feels like the exact sort of functionality likely to drive away many of their users, and stir up a controversy online, even with the privacy and environmental concerns somewhat alleviated.

> Partnering with European companies supports our mission for independent European tech that’s not subject to political whims. This shift to a European provider gives us a potential pathway to self-hosting our AI in the future.

> It also means a lighter footprint – it’s a more energy-efficient model which uses far fewer resources than mainstream models. And we’re still producing more renewable energy than we need to run our AI.

Kind of refreshing to read this.
