> Mistral AI's 124B parameter open-weights multimodal vision and language model

Pixtral Large is a 124-billion-parameter multimodal model built by Mistral AI, combining a 123B decoder with a 1B vision encoder to understand text and high-resolution images. It is designed to handle visual math, document comprehension, and chart analysis at frontier-grade levels. Users can interact with it directly through Mistral's Le Chat web assistant or integrate it via API and self-hosted model weights.
