Mistral launched its trillion-parameter Large 4 (ML4) model this week, saying it “pushes the frontier of open-weight performance.” Artificial Analysis (AA), an independent AI benchmarking firm, ranked Mistral's Large 4 as the best model available from outside the U.S. and China in its index.
Key facts
- ML4 comes in at $1.13 per AA task at list price, or $0.57 at the 50% discounted launch price
- ML4 does, in fact, beat OpenAI’s closed GPT-6 Luna (max) on CyberGym-E2E-AA, but Luna matches ML4’s 38 on AA’s index at about one-sixteenth of the cost per task ($0.07)
- ML4 scored 38 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2, which AA says makes it the “most intelligent model from outside the US and China
- At least five Chinese open models scored higher on the index: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max) at 39, GLM-5.3-Flash at 42, Kimi K3 (max) at 44, GLM-5.3 (max) at 45, and MiMo-V2.6-Pro at 46
