Mistral released the open weights for Mistral Large 4, nicknamed 'Le Chonk,' a trillion-parameter model it says beats open rivals at coding.
AI brief
Mistral AI announced open weights for Mistral Large 4, nicknamed "Le Chonk," its most capable large language model to date, which was first released in preview three weeks ago with 1 trillion parameters.
Why it matters: Releasing the weights lets outside parties run and control the model themselves rather than only through Mistral's services.
