Mistral AI announced the launch of the Mistral 3 model family on December 2, 2025. As reported by TechCrunch, the release includes the flagship Mistral Large 3 (Mixture-of-Experts architecture) and several compact models. All are published under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing for free commercial use. This positions Mistral as a powerful competitor to closed "frontier" models (from OpenAI or Google), making advanced technology available to businesses and researchers across various platforms and clouds.
