	tl;dr: Mistral has released open weights for Mistral Large 4 ("Le Chonk"), a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model trained in Europe, under a modified MIT license (commercial use allowed except for MaaS providers). The model leads open-weight benchmarks in coding (FrontierCode, Terminal-Bench) and defensive cybersecurity, offers three reasoning modes for cost/performance tradeoffs, and claims ~47% better token efficiency than GLM-5.3 at comparable quality. Pricing via API is $0.70/M input and $2.10/M output tokens, with weights available on Hugging Face.
	HN Discussion: ↑Price cut makes the model competitive and worth reassessing ↑Cheering for Mistral as valuable competition and European representation in AI ↓License restrictions on MaaS make 'open weight' labeling misleading ↓Benchmark claims are cherry-picked and refusal-rate stats lack context ~Model size trend (1T+) prevents consumer hardware use and raises costs
