Mistral releases the open weights of Mistral Large 4 "Le Chonk": a 1T-total, ~52B-active multimodal MoE that Mistral says leads open models on FrontierCode 2.0

On Oct 29 Mistral released an improved Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk) with open weights on Hugging Face (plus an NVFP4 quantized checkpoint), served on its API as mistral-large-4. After about three more weeks of reinforcement learning since the early-October preview, Mistral reports 19.7% on FrontierCode 2.0, Terminal-Bench 4.0 up from 28% to 41%, and new low/medium/high reasoning modes. The license is a modified MIT that allows commercial use, but running a model-as-a-service business needs a separate commercial license.

Mistral releases the open weights of Mistral Large 4 "Le Chonk": a 1T-total, ~52B-active multimodal MoE that Mistral says leads open models on FrontierCode 2.0

Key Takeaways

  • Specs: about 1T total parameters with 49B active per token (about 52B including embeddings and output layers), 128 routed experts with 4 active plus 1 shared expert, 1M context, text and image input
  • Per Mistral: 19.7% on Cognition's FrontierCode 2.0, ahead of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 19.3% and GLM-5.3 at 17.8%, first among open models
  • 48% on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, roughly tied with GLM-5.3 while using 47% fewer tokens per task on average; Terminal-Bench 4.0 rose from 28% in preview to 41%
  • 51% on the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index, and a 96.6% average refusal rate on malicious cyber requests, which Mistral says is the highest among open models
  • Trained from scratch on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in Mistral's own European datacenters; in Surge Code blind pairwise tests it ranked behind only Claude Opus 5.5

Mistral launches its Responses API in public preview: OpenAI Responses-compatible, returning the answer, reasoning and tool calls as separate items for building agents

Mistral AI announced on X on Oct 28 that its Responses API is in public preview, positioned as the interface for building agents on Mistral. The official docs say it uses the OpenAI Responses format, and each response's output array carries the models messages, its reasoning and its function calls as separate items, which is easier to handle step by step than Chat Completions. The preview is stateless, so the app keeps the conversation history and sends it back; it supports text, image and file input, JSON Schema structured output, streaming events, client-executed function calls, reasoning.effort, and token counting via POST /v1/responses/input_tokens. It is served in the EU and US on Mistral AI Cloud Inference. The same thread says Mistral now also serves DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (public preview) and GLM 5.3 Flash (generally available).

Key Takeaways

  • The Responses API is in public preview and uses the OpenAI Responses format, so existing Responses integrations can move to Mistral more easily
  • Each response splits the answer, reasoning and function calls into separate output items, which suits step-by-step agent loops
  • The preview is stateless: the app keeps the history and sends earlier output items back along with function_call_output results
  • It supports image and file input, JSON Schema structured output, streaming, function calling (including namespaces), reasoning.effort and token counting via /v1/responses/input_tokens
  • It is served in the EU and US on Mistral AI Cloud Inference; Mistral also added DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (preview) and GLM 5.3 Flash (GA)

llm-d 1.0 ships: the Kubernetes-native open-source distributed inference stack led by Red Hat, IBM and Google hits production readiness, with vendors reporting 3,000 self-hosted coding agents at 5-10x lower cost than commercial APIs

At PyTorch Conference North America on Oct 20, the CNCF Sandbox project llm-d released version 1.0. It turns inference engines such as vLLM and SGLang into one coordinated serving pool, and 1.0 adds multi-tenant priority and fairness scheduling (flow control), router high availability with zero-downtime rolling upgrades (DisaggregatedSet), a v1 configuration API, and agent-aware session routing with Responses API state. Founded in 2025 by Red Hat, IBM, Google Cloud, CoreWeave and NVIDIA, the project has 500+ contributors, and JetBrains, DigitalOcean and Mistral already run it in production.

llm-d 1.0 ships: the Kubernetes-native open-source distributed inference stack led by Red Hat, IBM and Google hits production readiness, with vendors reporting 3,000 self-hosted coding agents at 5-10x lower cost than commercial APIs

Key Takeaways

  • Scale (Red Hat press release, vendor-reported): GLM 5.2, roughly 753B parameters, on NVIDIA GPUs peaked at 6.6M output tokens per minute and served up to 3,000 concurrent coding agents with zero preemptions, 5-10x cheaper per token than equivalent commercial API pricing at cloud rental rates
  • Cache reuse: IBM says the prefix-aware router captured 97% of available cache reuse on an agentic coding workload; an IBM Research quantum error correction project saw ~98% prefix hits, ~$0.11 per million tokens, and 11.5x lower cost than an all-proprietary setup
  • Google Cloud figures: on Ironwood TPU, prefix-aware routing plus host memory offload cut median time-to-first-token by more than 85% and raised throughput 2.4x on an agentic coding workload; the Gemini platform doubled its prefix cache hit rate from 35% to 70%
  • New in 1.0: flow-control multi-tenant QoS, router hot-standby HA, DisaggregatedSet for coordinated prefill/decode rollouts, a v1 config API, and previous_response_id support in the Responses API
  • Ecosystem: 500+ contributors from 25+ organizations; JetBrains' free Junie Lite, DigitalOcean Serverless Inference and Mistral's tiered commercial traffic run on it; the GitHub v1.0.0 notes admit not every tracked goal shipped

Mistral releases Timestral, its first time-series foundation models: four open-weight sizes from 5M to 209M, with the 209M ranked first on GIFT-Eval, TIME and fev-bench among zero-shot models per Mistral, and CPU-only inference

On October 15 Mistral released Timestral, its first family of time-series foundation models, in 5M, 28M, 123M and 209M sizes. Weights are on Hugging Face under a Modified MIT license and the inference code is Apache 2.0. The models produce multivariate probabilistic forecasts with 21 quantiles per step, accept past-only and known-future covariates, and take up to 32,768 steps of context. Mistral says the 209M model ranks first among pretrained zero-shot models on GIFT-Eval, TIME and fev-bench with about two-thirds the parameters of the previous best; on an 8-thread CPU, forecasting one day from three weeks of 15-minute data takes 10 ms with the 5M model and 140 ms with the 209M. These are Mistral's own figures; the technical report is still to come.

Key Takeaways

  • Four sizes, 5M / 28M / 123M / 209M, with fp32 weights from 21 MB to 837 MB, all downloadable from Hugging Face.
  • Mistral says the 209M ranks first among pretrained zero-shot models on GIFT-Eval, TIME and fev-bench with about two-thirds the parameters of the prior best (vendor-reported).
  • The 28M beats Chronos-2, about 4x larger, on GIFT-Eval and TIME; the 209M beats TimesFM-3 and Falcon-2.0 with fewer parameters (vendor-reported).
  • No GPU needed: a one-day forecast on an 8-thread CPU takes about 10 ms (5M) or 140 ms (209M); the 123M lands within 0.2% of the 209M score at three-quarters of its latency.
  • 32,768-step context, up to 1,024 steps per forward pass, 21 output quantiles; fine-tuning and on-prem deployment via Mistral Forge.

PrismQuant: Optimal Null-Space Rotations for Grouped Quantizers Slashes Peak Memory by 56% with Only 0.22% Drop on 70B Models

Deploying 70B+ LLMs under tight memory constraints necessitates extreme 4-bit weight, activation, and KV-cache quantization (W4A4KV4). However, current methods predominantly focus on suppressing activation outliers, overlooking their geometric alignment with the quantizer grid. Researchers introduce PrismQuant, a quantizer-aware rotation framework that mathematically aligns the leading activation eigenspace with the constant group subspace of asymmetric grouped INT4 quantization. Formulated as a Ky Fan trace maximization problem, PrismQuant derives a closed-form, provably optimal rotation solution without requiring expensive gradient descent. Benchmarked across Llama, Qwen, and Mistral architectures up to 70B parameters and 30B MoE variants, PrismQuant sets new SOTA marks: on Llama-3.1-70B under W4A4KV4, it achieves 72.46% zero-shot accuracy—merely 0.22 percentage points below full FP16 precision. Deployment benchmarks demonstrate a 1.51x prefill speedup and 56.34% reduction in peak decoding VRAM with code open-sourced on GitHub.

PrismQuant: Optimal Null-Space Rotations for Grouped Quantizers Slashes Peak Memory by 56% with Only 0.22% Drop on 70B Models

Key Takeaways

  • Quantizer-Aware Geometric Alignment: Establishes that minimizing activation outlier magnitudes is secondary to aligning the leading activation eigenspace with the grouped quantizer's null-space.
  • Closed-Form Optimal Rotation: Solves Ky Fan trace maximization analytically, deriving gradient-free Householder rotations that can be computed in seconds without retraining.
  • Near-Lossless W4A4KV4 on 70B & 56% VRAM Drop: Reaches 72.46% zero-shot accuracy on Llama-3.1-70B (within 0.22% of FP16), delivers a 1.51x prefill speedup, and cuts peak decode VRAM by 56.34%.
