Mistral Large 4 lands; OpenAI shares new maths results
Mistral shipped a 1T-parameter open model, OpenAI released maths results from an internal model, and Claude moved into Google Workspace.
- Mistral AIReleaseModelsMistral releases Large 4, a 1T-parameter open-weight multimodal model1T total, 49B active, natively multimodal, and Mistral says it leads open models from the US or Europe on aggregate benchmarks. Europe's biggest open release yet.
- OpenAINewsResearchOpenAI releases new mathematical results from an internal frontier modelResults were reviewed with an independent advisory group of mathematicians, a step toward credible AI contributions to research maths rather than benchmark claims.
- ClaudeNewsAgentsClaude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets and SlidesA sidebar that reads and edits the open file puts Claude directly into Google's own suite, competing with Gemini on its home turf.
- OpenAI DevelopersReleaseAgentsOpenAI opens the Decisions API to all developersLets apps pick a model, tool or action in near real time from one call, moving routing logic out of agent code and into the platform.
- Google DeepMindReleaseOpen sourceGoogle DeepMind releases EmbeddingGemma 2 for on-device multimodal embeddingsOne small open model embeds text, code, images, audio and video in a shared space, useful for local retrieval in agents without a server.
