Mistral Large 3: 123B, GPT-4o Competitive, GDPR-Compliant EU Option
In one sentence Mistral releases Mistral Large 3 at 123B: best-in-class instruction following, multilingual (Italian/French/German), 128K context. Matches GPT-4o on several benchmarks. Available on Azure AI Foundry with EU GDPR compliance.
Mistral released Mistral Large 3, their flagship 123-billion-parameter model. It's a significant upgrade across several key areas. First: multilingual quality is much improved, with Italian, French, and German noticeably more fluent than the previous version — great for European companies working across languages. Second: the context window is 128,000 tokens, enough for long documents and full codebases. Third: instruction following — how well the model follows the instructions you give it — is at the top of its class. On various benchmarks it's competitive with GPT-4o. But the most relevant aspect for the European market is legal: available on Azure AI Foundry and La Plateforme with EU data residency options and certified GDPR compliance. For many European companies, being unable to use US models due to regulatory constraints is a real problem — Mistral Large 3 solves that equation.
