Mistral Large 4, the 1T-parameter 'Le Chonk', is now open weight
kuberwastaken · hn · 2026-10-29
Mistral has released its flagship Mistral Large 4 (nicknamed Le Chonk) as open weights. Community discussion puts the model at roughly 1 trillion parameters, with llama.cpp support confirmed in the Hugging Face release blog, meaning quantized local deployment is on the table. It's Mistral's largest open-weight release to date, and the community's immediate focus is whether it can run on consumer hardware after quantization.
