Mistral releases Mistral Large 4, a 1T-parameter open-weight model

Story overview

On October 6, 2026, French AI lab Mistral AI released a public preview of Mistral Large 4, also known as ML4 and nicknamed "le Chonk." According to The Next Web, it is a 1T-parameter open-weight model that Mistral calls the most powerful open-weight AI system outside China. Developers can access it through Mistral API from day one, and users can try the preview API in Mistral Studio; the weights are slated to be available for download by the end of October, so anyone can run the model on their own infrastructure.

Official documentation cited by Unite.AI lists the model at 1.05 trillion total parameters with 49 billion active parameters, while TestingCatalog, cnBeta and others describe it as a 1T-parameter model with 49B active parameters, built as a natively multimodal mixture-of-experts system aimed at general agentic capabilities. Reports differ on the training hardware: The Deep View says it was trained on 4,000 Grace Blackwell GPUs, whereas a Chinese tech outlet reported that it was trained on 3,800 Nvidia GPUs inside Mistral's own European data centers.

On performance, Mistral says ML4 is state of the art among open models on critical enterprise workloads such as cybersecurity, finance and law, and that in some areas, including visual grounding, it edges past frontier closed models. TestingCatalog cites scores of 61.7% on DeepSWE v1.1, 93% on Cybench and 42% on Dense 200 visual grounding, slightly above GPT-6 Astra's 41%. cnBeta highlights strong results in cybersecurity, coding, manufacturing, finance and multimodal tasks. Mistral is running red-teaming in real business environments with leading cybersecurity organizations, trusted partners and government regulators, who get dedicated testing access; that test build relaxes content safety policies and strengthens cyber offense and defense capabilities.

Accounts of where the model stands differ. TechCrunch says Mistral positions it as leapfrogging both American and Chinese rivals, and cnBeta places it among the world's top open models. The Decoder, citing the independent Intelligence Index, says it makes a big leap forward but still falls well short of Claude, GPT-6 and Chinese competitors, and describes Mistral's main pitch as cybersecurity work that closed US models refuse to do. The model remains in public API preview, with weights not yet released.
