French AI startup Mistral has unveiled its latest Large 4 model, a multimodal AI system with up to 4 trillion parameters, claiming strong performance in cybersecurity, coding, finance, and other enterprise tasks. The company says the model outperforms some Chinese open-weight models and rivals leading US and European open-source systems. Mistral plans to release the model weights publicly by late October, with early access given to cybersecurity experts and authorities for testing.
