Mistral says its Le Chonk model can rival top closed models while remaining open-weight.
AI brief
Mistral opened access to Mistral Large 4, its most capable large language model to date, in public preview through its cloud platform, with plans to release the model's weights later this month.
Why it matters: Releasing the model's weights would make Mistral's most capable model openly available for others to use and modify.
