Mistral's ML4 hits open-model SOTA across capabilities and cyber benchmarks

Mistral says its ML4 model reaches state-of-the-art performance among open models across a wide range of capabilities, and outperforms the best models in visual grounding, legal, and spreadsheet manipulation.

The post reports ML4 ranks among the best on the AA Cyber Index, scoring 82% on vulnerability reproduction and patching and 93% on Cybench.

It argues that self-hosted, auditable open models are the best defense option for enterprises today, and that they do not refuse to help.
