Third-party testing suggests Mistral 4 is heavily benchmaxxed, roughly a year behind frontier
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-14
Evaluator leolinsky ran Mistral 4 through 100 complex, unsaturated coding environments and concluded it may be the most benchmaxxed model they've ever tested — despite published benchmarks that weren't even impressive. Their estimate: Europe is now about a year behind the frontier, with Mistral 4 roughly on par with GPT 5.1 and Qwen 3.6 27B. teortaxesTex endorsed the take.
