It achieves 38 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, comparable to GPT-6 Luna (max, 38) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max, 39). It also achieves 50% on the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index, level with GLM-5.3-Flash and ahead of models such as Kimi K3 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max).
Key benchmarking results for Mistral Large 4 Preview:
➤ Most intelligent model from outside the US and China: Mistral Large 4 Preview scores 38 on the Intelligence Index, comparable to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max, 39) and GPT-6 Luna (max, 38). This makes it the most intelligent model from outside the US and China, ahead of countries such as South Korea and the United Arab Emirates
➤ Level with GLM-5.3-Flash on cyber defense capability: Mistral Large 4 Preview scores 50 on the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index, level with GLM-5.3-Flash (50) and behind MiMo-V2.6-Pro (56). Once its weights are released, it will rank among the top three open weights models on the Cyber Index. Its strongest result is on CyberGym-E2E-AA, where it scores 82%, ahead of MiMo-V2.6-Pro (79%) and GPT-6 Luna (max, 78%)
➤ Over 4x the Cost per Task of similar-intelligence open weights models: Mistral Large 4 Preview costs $1.13 per Intelligence Index task with standard pricing of $1.36/$4.18 per 1M input/output tokens, with $0.14 per 1M cached input tokens. For the first two weeks, Mistral Large 4 Preview will be served at a 50% launch discount, bringing its Cost per Task down to $0.57. This is still more costly than GLM-5.3-Flash ($0.25) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max, $0.27)
➤ Strong document and image reasoning: Mistral Large 4 Preview scores 19% on GDP.pdf, on par with MiMo-V2.6-Pro (19%) and behind Kimi K3 (22%). This is an 18-point improvement from Mistral Large 3, partly driven by improvements in their API, which now accepts 100 images per request, up from 8 for previous Mistral models
