Mistral launches a preview of Mistral Large 4, or Le Chonk, a 1T model it claims tops any open model developed in the US or Europe; weights are due October 27 (Carl Franzen/VentureBeat)
Mistral is previewing a 1T-parameter multimodal model now, with open weights promised for October 27.
Mistral says Large 4, code-named “Le Chonk,” has 49B active parameters and is the strongest open-weight model from the US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks. The Techmeme item points to claims around cyber defense, manufacturing, finance, and visual grounding. Mistral says the model was trained on 3,800 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs in its own European data centers. Techmeme's note
