Mistral Large 4 promises future open weights but is not locally actionable

Mistral Large 4 is reported as a roughly 1.05T-parameter MoE with approximately 49–52B active parameters and is currently available only through an API preview. Mistral reportedly plans to publish weights around October 31, 2026, but the final license, reproducible benchmarks, context specifications, and deployment requirements remain unknown; its scale makes 32–64 GB self-hosting impractical.
