What changed
Mistral opened public preview access to Large 4 on October 6, with a separate model-weight release planned for later this month.
Why it matters
The preview gives builders another model to evaluate. Self-hosting depends on the planned weight release and its eventual terms.
What remains uncertain
Independent performance and the final terms of the planned weight release remain unverified in this briefing.
What to watch
Watch for the model weights and release terms, and independent evaluations of the preview.

Why this ranks here
A new model preview changes what builders can test now. Its planned weight release is a future step, and vendor capability claims still require independent evaluation.
