Mistral will give away its trillion-parameter model this month.
French lab Mistral unveiled Large 4 on Tuesday, a model with a trillion parameters. Only 49 billion of them run on any single answer. Mistral publishes the weights on 27 October, after three weeks of safety testing.
Why it mattersOpen-weight leaderboards have been led by Chinese labs all year. Now you can download a Western model of the same size and run it yourself.
