From preview to downloadable weights
Mistral released an improved Large 4 checkpoint on October 29, following its October 6 public API preview. Reuters reported that the model could be downloaded and run independently; Mistral attributed the changes since preview to continued reinforcement learning and feedback. [1][2]
The Mistral Ecosystem Open-Weight License permits use and modification but requires a separate commercial license when the licensee or its affiliates operate a Model-as-a-Service business. The text defines that activity and exempts internal use and use through Mistral’s official products; downloadable weights do not imply an unmodified MIT license. [3]
