| 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. | Conditional Per the published model card, Talkie-1930-13B Base is the pretrained sibling of the Talkie-1930 instruction-tuned release: an Apache 2.0 13B model trained on 260B tokens of pre-1931 English text drawn entirely from public-domain sources. Training-data transparency is unusually clean for AI Act Article 53 purposes; the limits are vendor jurisdiction (a US-affiliated research collaboration with no published EU DPA) and the deliberate vintage corpus, which makes the model unsuitable for any task requiring post-1931 factual knowledge. |
