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.
Today we’re announcing a new collaboration with @nvidia to bring AI to industrial engineering:
- faster simulation
- open benchmarks and supporting datasets for physics AI
- evaluations for agentic AI in CAE and EDA

Can an STT model make sense of a 135 year old recording?
I tested @MistralAI new Voxtral transcription model on a noisy French phonograph recording of Gustave Eiffel from 1891.
It matched 100 of 107 words in INA’s published excerpts (6.5% WER), while transcribing 75 additional words omitted from the reference.
It handled Eiffel’s dictation well but struggled with proper names and some guest dialogue.
A fascinating test of modern speech recognition on audio from 1891.
Voxtral 3 also introduces a voice agent SDK, built on LiveKit.
Transcribe listens, a reasoning model thinks and calls tools, and Speech replies, streamed as one pipeline for natural, intelligent conversation.
Turns out le Chonk is into rocket science.

What can large-scale AI models bring to the growing complexity of particle physics?
@CERN and Mistral join forces to explore this question.
The ambition: a single Large Physics Model, trained on billions of simulated collisions.
New Material joins @MistralAI to design the frontier.
Over the last 6 years we've teamed up with ambitious organisations transforming their industries with AI. Today, we are excited to take it to the next level within Europe's premier frontier AI lab.

Just a few weeks ago, @orbitworksspace launched Altair, the first of a 50-satellite AI constellation that will enable users to receive AI-generated alerts within minutes. @NVIDIAAIInfra solutions is making this possible, supporting models like Mistral’s Ministral 3 to deliver fast, reliable answers for users' critical questions.

🇫🇷 Le Chonk joins the sudo L7 leaderboard 🇫🇷
We just added @MistralAI's Mistral Large 4 to sudo L7, our benchmark for staff-level software engineering.
Mistral Large 4 scores 13.3%, ahead of Muse Spark 1.3 (12.2%) and Grok 4.7 (10.6%).
sudo L7 tests whether coding agents can go beyond writing correct code to exercise the judgment of experienced engineers: navigating messy systems, spotting hidden risks, and knowing when technically correct code is still the wrong thing to ship.
Allez, le Chonk ! 🥖

Vision for engineering, manufacturing, and earth observation.
Checks mechanical parts, pulls evidence from PDFs, scans gigapixel satellite imagery for the hardest-to-find objects.
Bon appétit.
Gmail. Google Sheets. Slack. Salesforce.
i.e. the four horsemen of Monday.
On AutomationBench, Mistral Large 4 took on 657 business workflows across simulated workplace apps, all four included, finishing ahead of Kimi K3, MiMo-V2.6-Pro and DeepSeek V4 Pro.
