Mistral AI LLMs
European AI lab shipping both open-weight and proprietary models.
Mistral runs a hosted API (La Plateforme) and also distributes open-weight checkpoints. The 2026 lineup centers on Mistral Large 2, Codestral for code, and Pixtral for vision. Pricing is competitive with mid-tier OpenAI models, and the open-weight option gives an exit ramp if commercial pricing shifts.
