Some things to say about this model:

1. It's a good model in the actual usage sense. I've understood so much about Lacan and Merleau-Ponty in the last two days
2. I spent a non-trivial amount of time to make it good, and then to make it servable
3. We had a tattoo bet about its DeepSWE performance being over 60 (a capability I am responsible for) so I welcome tattoo parlour recommendations to send my colleagues to
4. I marvelled at how good some of my colleagues are at neural surgery under stress
5. An even chonkier boi is munching on trillions of tokens at this very moment

Quoting @MistralAI: Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.

• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active. It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks. • State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding. • Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure. • Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.

Open weights release end of October.
