Le Chonk: Built for Coders, Trusted by Defenders.

Thinking

Summary

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.

Today, we're releasing the weights of this improved Mistral Large 4. The new model also features substantial gains in reasoning efficiency that give developers greater performance while lowering inference costs.

Mistral Large 4 ranks as the best open-weight model for coding and among the world's most capable open models overall. Trained from scratch on European infrastructure with clear lineage from inception to release, it gives organizations a trusted foundation for Sovereign AI

Mistral is defining the sovereign AI category and leading the open frontier. We're committed to building the world's most capable models and releasing them openly, giving developers, enterprises, and institutions the power to own, customize, and control their AI.
