| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Blocked Per the Tencent Hy Community License Agreement (Sections 1(l) and 5(c)), the licence's defined Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea, and licensees are expressly prohibited from using, distributing or displaying the model or its outputs outside that Territory. Under those terms the weights are not deployable for EU users or workloads, regardless of architecture quality. | EU-ready A 12B model from Paris-based Mistral AI, co-trained with NVIDIA and shipped under Apache 2.0 with a 128k context window and strong coverage of major EU languages. EU-headquartered vendor plus a fully permissive licence make this one of the cleanest open-weight choices for organisations prioritising AI Act and GDPR alignment, with the main caveat being the usual lack of detail on the training corpus. |
