| Field | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready Per Mistral's published license, Mistral Medium 3.5 ships under a Modified MIT License: vanilla-MIT terms for independent developers, startups and most enterprises, with a revenue-threshold carve-out that routes large companies back to a paid commercial agreement. Paris-headquartered vendor with EU jurisdiction end to end and a 256k-token context. Training-data composition is not published in the model card — usual caveat for high-assurance public-sector deployments. | EU-ready Fully open model: weights, training data (Dolma 2), training code, checkpoints, and logs all published. Apache 2.0 across the board. Strongest choice when AI Act transparency obligations matter. |
