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.

What's also very nice for the developers among us: they also have "Codestral" which is an AI specifically for coding. You can generate an API key (not sure of it's in the free tier) and integrate it in VS Code with the "continue" extension. Works surprisingly well!

Thanks a tons for the information, I was not aware of this and used Le Chat few times for my coding needs (with no IDE integration, but worked well).
