The model builds on a version released in public preview earlier this month, the French startup said in the announcement.

“The response to the preview has exceeded our expectations, and we’re grateful to our developer community, early-access customers, and partners for their support, collaboration and feedback,” the announcement said.

The model shows strong performance on cybersecurity benchmarks, “while achieving an average refusal rate of 96.6% on malicious cyber requests, the highest we measure among open models,” according to the announcement.

Large 4 is the best open-weight model for coding and one of the world’s overall most capable open models, the announcement said.

Nicknamed “Le Chonk” and featuring an orange cat logo—“chonk” being internet slang for a hefty cat—the model is designed to be used by companies on their own systems to lessen reliance on third-party models.

“I’m not comfortable living in a world in which open weights do not exist,” Mistral Vice President of Science Pierre Stock said, according to a Thursday Reuters report.

Once the model is released, “it’s impossible to contain access,” he added, per the report, saying this protects users from being cut off but also means it can be used by anyone.
