Mistral Large 4
OPENMistral AI · Mistral Large family · released Sep 9, 2026
Mistral's September 9, 2026 flagship — a modest 685B/43B scale-up over Large 3 (675B/41B) that stays Apache 2.0 and doubles context to 512K. The honest read is unchanged from the Large line's recent history: competent open generalist, visibly behind the reasoning-specialized crowd — HLE 9.4 (independent), Terminal-Bench 2.1 at 21.6, SWE-bench 52.7. As with Large 3, the filings here are the independent/third-party measurements Mistral's own docs now link out to rather than vendor table claims; capabilities.reasoning stays false (no thinking mode).
