According to a repost, Mistral is becoming an inference provider for open-source Chinese models. The post notes that Mistral Large 3 (December 2025 flagship) is built on DeepSeek V3's architecture with nearly identical config (hidden dim 7168, 61 layers, 3 dense layers, etc.), differing only in MoE granularity. Mistral raised over $3 billion but has shifted strategy.
