| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional Per the published model card, Ling-2.6 1T is an MIT-licensed 1-trillion-parameter MoE with a 262k-token context, hybrid MLA + Linear attention and multi-token-prediction support, targeted at production agentic workloads. Permissive weights enable EU self-hosting in principle, though the deployment footprint is non-trivial; vendor jurisdiction (Ant Group, China) and undisclosed training data remain the regulated-buyer blockers. | Conditional Based on published licence terms, Mistral 7B Instruct v0.2 is an EU-origin open-weight model under standard Apache 2.0 — commercial deployment and self-hosting are permitted without field-of-use restrictions. Training-data opacity is the primary EU AI Act Art. 53 gap, but the French controller, absence of CLOUD Act exposure, and Mistral's published DPA make this a strong baseline for regulated EU workloads. |
