Mystery model "Union" suspected to be Mistral: no reasoning tokens, only final answers
mariofilhoml · x · 2026-09-17
Community speculation (unconfirmed) is swirling around a mystery model codenamed "Union".
- During its stealth test it does not emit reasoning tokens, only final answers — likely because no reasoning toggle was offered.
- It answers questions about China, the associated X account is from Spain, and Mistral's infra hiccuped around launch — leading to speculation it's a Mistral model.
- Some also guess "Union" references the European Union.
Nothing has been officially confirmed.
