Mistral releases Mistral Large 4 'Le Chonk' weights, strong at coding but behind Chinese models overall

Paris-based Mistral releases "Le Chonk," a strong coding model that still trails China overall

Mistral released the Mistral Large 4 weights three weeks after a public preview. The model takes text and image input and outputs text and code.

Why it matters: Mistral shipped Large 4 weights, and independent tests show better speed and cost per task than the preview, though overall capability still trails leading open Chinese models.
