In plain English
Mistral’s most powerful model. You can use it online or download the weights to run it yourself.
Good for
Coding, working with documents and images, multilingual tasks, and organisations that want more control over where their AI runs.
Things to be aware of
Downloading the model gives you more control, but you also take on the infrastructure, security, support, and running costs. Check where it runs and what your contract says before claiming your data stays in Europe.
The licence allows many commercial uses, but businesses offering it commercially as a model service need a separate licence from Mistral.
