Mistral releases open weights for Mistral Large 4, its 1-trillion-parameter flagship, on Hugging Face

On Oct 29 Mistral released the weights of Mistral Large 4 ("Le Chonk"), in API preview since early October. The multimodal MoE model has about 1T total and 49B active parameters and three reasoning modes. Mistral says three more weeks of RL lifted Terminal-Bench 4.0 from 28% to 41%, calling it the best open-weight coding model (vendor claim). A quantized version runs on four Nvidia B200/B300 GPUs.

Why it matters

One of the largest open-weight models from a European lab: developers can now self-host and fine-tune a 1T-parameter multimodal model. Mistral says smaller distilled versions, including a laptop-class one, will follow.
