Mistral VP of Science @PierreStock says they have efficiency in their DNA and people should give them more money:
"Now, it's 300 people, and [Le Chonk] we managed to train it on only 10 megawatts of compute from scratch. 10 megawatts of compute is roughly 4,000 GB300s, to give you an order of magnitude."
"That's super low. It's a fraction of what every competitor uses, and we trained it on our own compute."
"It's pretty amazing, and we really got efficiency in our DNA. But now, the thing I want to tell everyone is that it means that you should give us more money because the yield is there....Please give us 1 gigawatt."
"We've now spent one year building the reinforcement learning machine in training… [Le Chonk] is the best open-weight model in the world on cyber defense, on coding, and on coding agents."
ML4 is now open-weight! Frontier capabilities on code agents & cyber, way more efficient and compact than its Preview version three weeks ago (!) and cherry on the cake: technical report telling its epic backstory. Check it out: huggingface.co/mistralai/Mis…

Many positive things came out of this conversation with @pierrestock
Mistral’s model Le Chonk is the best open-weight model in the world on cyber defense & coding, it’s one of the most efficient models in the world and they’ll be very powerful with 1 gigawatt of compute because of this efficiency.
I've never been more bullish on this company.

Impressed by the new @MistralAI large-4 update! The model update is much better at coding and performs as the 2nd best OSS model on our coding benchmark

We sat down with @MistralAI's Pierre Stock and Sagar Vaze from Mistral on launch day of Mistral Large 4.
Open weights. Trained in Mistral’s own data centers. Excels at cyber.
Full conversation on cyber, training, evals and sandboxing:

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.

This Thursday, we are hosting events at our SF, NYC, and London offices to celebrate the launch of ML4 !
We're growing our teams across all three locations, as well as in Paris, Warsaw, Zurich, and Montreal, where we recently opened a new office.
If you believe the future of AI should be open, that scientific breakthroughs should be shared, and that everyone should benefit from frontier intelligence, come build that future with us !
Le Chonk is out of the bag 🐈
We're throwing Chonky Parties in our SF, NYC and London offices to celebrate the launch!
You can expect some Champagne 🍾, food, good music, and to meet the team behind our latest release.

For their Mistral Large 4 release, @MistralAI ran a blind Surge human eval, with our expert software engineers evaluating five frontier models on coding quality.
Le Chonk ranked #1 among open-weight models and #2 overall, behind only Opus 5.
Unit tests ask: does it work?
Human code review asks: would you merge it?
Our evals measures the difference. Working code is the floor; professional taste and judgment are what make it shippable.
Congrats to the Mistral team on le Chonk and their big release 🇫🇷
Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.
• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks.
• State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding.
• Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure.
• Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.
Open weights release end of October.

We’re building AGI from this train station
ML4 was trained on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in our European datacenters -- our cluster in Bruyères-le-Châtel built using our Series B fundraise.
We are investing heavily in infrastructure, with our Series C and D clusters coming online soon. This additional compute will let us train longer, pursue more ambitious post-training, and iterate faster.
We expect large and rapid improvements in the weeks and months ahead.

Some things to say about this model:
1. It's a good model in the actual usage sense. I've understood so much about Lacan and Merleau-Ponty in the last two days
2. I spent a non-trivial amount of time to make it good, and then to make it servable
3. We had a tattoo bet about its DeepSWE performance being over 60 (a capability I am responsible for) so I welcome tattoo parlour recommendations to send my colleagues to
4. I marvelled at how good some of my colleagues are at neural surgery under stress
5. An even chonkier boi is munching on trillions of tokens at this very moment

Today, we are launching a preview of our new model, Mistral Large 4 (ML4), aka le Chonk 🐈.
ML4 is a 1T-parameter model with 49B active parameters, trained natively with multimodal capabilities.
It is at the frontier of open models, and by far the strongest open-weight model from the US or Europe.
The RL run behind this preview is still in flight and shows no sign of saturation -- we will release a final version before the end of the month along with the weights of the model.

The performance gap between proprietary and open source models has reached its narrowest point yet.
In Code Arena: WebDev, the frontier gap between proprietary and open has compressed from ~150 pts since late 2025, to just ~10 pts today.
Muse Spark 1.2 is expected to release their weights. Stay tuned to see how that and other open models like Glimmer impact the frontier. Official scores coming soon.
