Mistral Large 4
Mistral Large 4: trillion parameters, European-built, and it just landed in production.
Why it matters
Mistral shipped a frontier-scale model (1T parameters) with European provenance, marking a significant capability milestone outside the US-China duopoly and establishing material competition at the trillion-parameter frontier. Practitioners should assess whether this changes model selection for latency-sensitive or sovereignty-constrained deployments.
