Mistral releases the weights of its Large 4 model

Anyone can now download the 1-trillion-parameter model, under Mistral’s own licence. Mistral says it ties China’s GLM-5.3 at coding, but Artificial Analysis scores it one point lower there and further behind overall.

French company Mistral AI published the weights of Mistral Large 4 on Hugging Face on October 29, three weeks after a public preview. The model, nicknamed “Le Chonk”, has about 1 trillion parameters, and about 50 billion of them work on each token. Its API costs $0.70 per million input tokens and $2.10 per million output tokens.
