Mistral.ai had a major release: mistral.ai/news/mistral-3

Three smaller, dense models and Mistral 3 Large, a large mixture-of-experts model (41B active and 675B total parameters). According to the first benchmarks, this puts it in the same league as the best open models (currently all Chinese).

Mistral's release includes the base model, not just the fine-tuned version as it had become more common. Plus, they used an Apache 2.0 license. That combination will likely open up fine-tunes from the community and makes it more useful for companies.

Mistral 3 Large is not a reasoning model, but they mentioned that a reasoning version should be coming soon.

I didn't have the chance to try them out myself. For specific problems like German content, I personally found Mistral 2 Large (from 2024) still doing better than the top Chinese ones (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM), even if they otherwise are very capable.

This is the new #Mistral 3B model running in WebGPU, loaded to my Chrome in a few seconds, live streaming my webcam, reliably detecting objects in the video stream.

It's wonderful and scary. Like technology often is.
