Today, we release the weights of a new and improved Le Chonk, advancing the open frontier for agentic coding and cybersecurity. 💻 Built to build: Le Chonk ranks #1 on @cognition’s FrontierCode among open models, and sets a new benchmark for Pareto efficiency on @artificialanalysis. 🛡 Built to defend: State-of-the-art in cyberdefense, put through the paces by the world's leading cyber vendors, including @CrowdStrike, @cloudflare, @rubrik, @zscaler, and others. Built for sovereignty: Make it yours. Download the weights on @huggingface , customize it with Mistral Forge, and deploy it wherever you need it. Read more from our team and customers 👇:

Congrats Mistral on the release of Le Chonk! We made some GGUFs for folks who can run it locally 🐱 xitter.twitterapi.xyz/UnslothAI/status/21158…
Mistral Le Chonk can now run locally! The 1 trillion parameter model runs on a Mac Studio with our 1-bit GGUF which retains 91% top-1 accuracy. Le Chonk is the strongest Western open model to date. GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/Mistr… Guide: unsloth.ai/docs/models/mistr…

being able to tune this on your own vuln history, detection rules and internal codebase without any of it leaving the network is very good. security models should get a lot better once they’re learning from the private context every company is currently too scared to send to an external API

Le Chonk might be the best model name yet, keen to try it

Le Chonk sounds like it should arrive with a tiny French passport.

Le Chonk is the perfect name for that pixel cat

开源模型第一,这下写代码和找漏洞都更有底气了

C’est tout le paradoxe des modèles géants : les poids peuvent être ouverts, mais la capacité de les faire tourner reste concentrée chez quelques acteurs. Mistral fait un pas important, mais le vrai test sera de voir si les entreprises peuvent construire leurs propres agents sur ces modèles, à un coût compétitif et sans dépendre des mêmes géants du cloud. Sinon, on aura ouvert les modèles, mais pas vraiment le marché.

local models run fine for me with ollama on 128gb. this one wants a 512gb mac even at 2 bit, le chonk is the right name lol

Another model joins the open weights arena, albeit from Europe this time

open weights for a trillion parameter model and people are already running it on a mac studio, honestly feels like europe's real contribution to AI is going to be this and not the regulation, curious what people end up building with it

anyone who fine-tuned the old Le Chonk now has to decide if the new base is worth redoing all that work

自己用 vLLM 起的话,--tool-call-parser mistral 和 --reasoning-parser mistral 两个都要带上,少了工具调用用不了,推理也会混进正文。显存紧先调小 --max-model-len 或 --max-num-seqs。
