Mistral Large 4 open weights released, demanding significant GPU resources

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Mistral AI has released the open weights for Mistral Large 4, a multimodal model featuring approximately 1 trillion parameters and a 1 million token context window. The model's FP8 checkpoint alone requires over 1 TB of storage, making it a tight fit for 8 H200 GPUs, which would be utilized at 94% capacity by the weights alone. The accompanying license permits free internal use but restricts resale and requires a separate commercial license for "Model as a Service" offerings. AI

IMPACT Requires substantial GPU infrastructure, potentially limiting self-hosting for many organizations.
