Mistral AI released the trillion-parameter multimodal model Mistral Large 4 (nickname Le Chonk) on Tuesday, positioned as a third route between closed-source and Chinese open-source models. Currently accessible only via public guardrail endpoint, planning to open weights within three weeks after safety testing completes; the model was trained using only 4,000 NVIDIA GPUs on Mistral's own compute, with optimized use cases including cybersecurity, finance and chip design.
