💬 Practitioner Verdict

“Mistral Large is the best European frontier model — the code generation and data sovereignty are genuinely differentiated. The trade-off: smaller ecosystem than GPT-4o, the context window is limited (32K), and the model is less capable for some tasks. For European companies that need data sovereignty, Mistral Large is the default.”
