sivareddyg · x · 2026-10-06
Mistral officially unveiled Mistral Large 4 (aka Le Chonk):
- 1T parameters, natively multimodal, 49B active; the best open weights model from the US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks
- State-of-the-art on critical workloads including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance, surpassing closed frontier models on visual grounding
- Forged in Europe end-to-end and deployable from Europe via Mistral's own cloud infrastructure
- Available to all via API today, with private cybersecurity partnerships underway; open weights release end of October
CEO Arthur Mensch added: it took serious groundwork, was trained and served entirely on their own compute, and RL shows no sign of saturation.
