Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk) is now Open Weight

Mistral AI has released the weights for 'Le Chonk,' a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model designed for coding and defensive cybersecurity. The model is being positioned as a sovereign AI solution, offering high performance and efficiency for self-hosted deployments.
Why it matters
The release of a high-performance, open-weight model challenges the dominance of closed-source AI providers and offers organizations more control over their infrastructure.
Mistral released Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk), a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model, now available with improved coding, cybersecurity, and reasoning efficiency. It leads open-weight benchmarks in coding and defensive security while offering three reasoning modes for cost-performance balance. Fully open-weight and European-trained, it empowers sovereign AI with customizable, self-hosted deployment options.
We release the weights of Le Chonk, advancing the frontier of open models in agentic coding and cybersecurity.
Earlier this month, we released Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk), our flagship 1-trillion-parameter, natively multimodal model, in public preview. The response to the preview has exceeded our expectations, and we're grateful to our developer community, early-access customers, and partners for their support, collaboration, and feedback.
Since then, we've put that feedback to work while continuing to scale reinforcement learning, driving massive improvements in coding and defensive cybersecurity . Gains continue to accelerate, with no signs of saturation.
