Mistral AI
@MistralAIOct 6
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 can finally talk about it: We found a way to extract hidden reasoning of frontier models using a vulnerability in the APIs of every frontier AI company. We verified that our reasoning token count matches billed API thinking tokens 1:1 for most of the prompts we queried.

🚀 New paper! arxiv.org/abs/2511.16655 Recently, Cambrian-S released models & two benchmarks (VSR & VSC) for “spatial supersensing” in video! We found: 1️⃣ Simple no-frame baseline (NoSense) ~perfectly solves VSR! 2️⃣ Tiny sanity check collapses Cambrian-S perf to 0% on VSC! 🧵👇

🚀New Paper! arxiv.org/abs/2504.07086 Everyone’s celebrating rapid progress in math reasoning with RL/SFT. But how real is this progress? We re-evaluated recently released popular reasoning models—and found reported gains often vanish under rigorous testing!! 👀 🧵👇
