Mistral Large 2 vs. Llama 3.1: Redefining AI with Fewer Parameters and Greater Efficiency

Mistral Large 2 vs. Llama 3.1: A new AI showdown with 123B parameters, multilingual support, and enhanced reasoning. Discover how it redefines AI efficiency.

AI competition is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Following Meta's release of its new open-source Llama 3.1 model, French AI startup Mistral AI has entered the fray.

Mistral AI has announced the next generation of its flagship open-source model: Mistral Large 2. This model boasts 123 billion parameters and rivals OpenAI and Meta's latest cutting-edge models in code generation, mathematics, and reasoning.

Hot on the heels of Llama 3.1 405B, the release of Mistral Large 2 has energized the open-source large model field with its key feature: "big enough."

Although Mistral Large 2 has fewer parameters than Llama 3.1's 405 billion, their performances are comparable. In several benchmarks, it competes with GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
