Mistral's new 1T model aims to leapfrog closed and open rivals
French AI lab Mistral AI has released Mistral Large 4, a new large multimodal model boasting one trillion parameters. The model is positioned as a European "third way" in artificial intelligence, aiming to rival top American and Chinese closed and open-weight systems. The model, nicknamed "Le Chonk," is currently accessible via a public guardrail endpoint, with open weights planned for release in three weeks following safety evaluations. Mistral trained the model using only 4,000 NVIDIA GPUs, significantly fewer than its competitors, while focusing on key enterprise use cases like cybersecurity, finance, and chip design.
