Mistral just published the open weights for Mistral Large 4, a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with ~52B active parameters. It leads the open-weight field on coding agent benchmarks and is designed for sovereign, self-hosted deployment — completing Mistral's pattern of shipping frontier-quality models that you can actually run yourself.

GPT-5.4 fails 54% of ARC-AGI problems it had previously solved with clean trajectories after those solutions pass through a consolidation loop. An episodic-only agent that retains raw rollouts without abstraction beats every consolidator tested across five benchmarks.

The $100/month default spending cap is the least interesting part of a design that crosses a real threshold: agents as autonomous infrastructure consumers.
