Mistral released a public preview of Mistral Large 4 (aka le Chonk): natively multimodal with 1 trillion total parameters and 52 billion active ones. The company claims performance competitive with the strongest open-source models globally, state-of-the-art among open models on enterprise workloads like cybersecurity, finance and law, and even above frontier closed models on visual grounding. Weights drop by end of month while red-teaming continues. The thread also notes Nvidia is doubling down on physical AI — robotics and autonomous driving.
