Mistral Large
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does
The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.
- Domain
- Language
- Task
- Chat
Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.
- Training data
- tokens
Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.
- How it was established
- Cost
The training run
What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.
- Training hardware
- NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB
- Wall-clock time
- 2,500 hours (104.2 days)
- Compute cost
- $14,110,112
Speculation by Emad Mostaque: 20M euro spent at Scaleway (1.9 euro per H100-hour) would be around 3 months on 4000 H100s.

What the numbers mean
What this model is
Mistral Large was published by Mistral AI, in the country recorded as France, during February 2024. The category the publisher falls under is industry.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of chat.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
What went into building it
Its inclusion criterion: training cost.
Answers
Mistral Large — common questions
Mistral Large— who created it?
It was published by Mistral AI, based in France, an organisation categorised as industry.
Mistral Large— when was it released?
It was published in February 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
Mistral Large— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of chat. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
Mistral Large— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
Mistral Large— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
Mistral Large— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
