Mistral Small 4: Unified Multimodal, Reasoning, and Coding MoE Model Released Under Apache 2.0

Mistral AI has released Mistral Small 4, a 119B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (6B active per token) that unifies capabilities previously split across Magistral (reasoning), Pixtral (multimodal), and Devstral (coding agents) into a single open-weights model. The model features a 256k context window, configurable reasoning effort via a `reasoning_effort` parameter, native text and image input support, and is released under Apache 2.0. Mistral claims 40% latency reduction and 3x throughput improvement over Mistral Small 3, with benchmark results showing competitive performance against GPT-OSS 120B and Qwen models while producing significantly shorter outputs. The release includes day-0 availability as an NVIDIA NIM and support across vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang, and Transformers.
