Closed weights Mistral AI November 2024

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 the numbers mean

Where it came from

Mistral Moderation was published by Mistral AI, in France, in November 2024. It comes out of industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing text classification.

It is derived from Ministral 8B rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

Mistral Moderation — common questions

01

Who created Mistral Moderation?

Mistral Moderation was published by Mistral AI, based in France, categorised as industry.

02

When was Mistral Moderation released?

Mistral Moderation was published in November 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.

03

What is Mistral Moderation used for?

Mistral Moderation works in Language, and is recorded as handling text classification. 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.

04

What GPU do I need to run Mistral Moderation?

None. Mistral Moderation 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.

05

Is Mistral Moderation open source?

No. Mistral Moderation has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

How many parameters does Mistral Moderation have?

No parameter count has been published for Mistral Moderation, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

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.
