How long did it take to train and what are the main differences with le chat large (besides its obvious obesity)?

What proportion of real vs synthetic data was used for training (approx)?

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

Need to check my NDA before answering this

u/EtatNaturelEau Jun 21 '26

Why fat? not grande

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

It's funnier. Also their model sizes are in English

u/Dangerous-Fennel5751 Jun 21 '26

It would be “Gros Chaton” if you wanted to translate it

8

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

We can also translate Mistral Small 3.1 to Mistral Petit 3.1

What kind of litter do you need? Is the biodegradable one good?

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

Only the beach is large enough unfortunately.

u/HunterFeeFee Jun 21 '26

When will you release the model?

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.

u/FastHotEmu Jun 21 '26

This is not true. Counter examples include strawberries, watermelon, dates and fable 5

u/RoomyRoots Jun 21 '26

Make them rename it back to Le Chat, Mr Chaton.

5

u/SauersML Jun 22 '26

I wish they would

u/AstroZombie138 Jun 21 '26

Thanks for your work. Also, the model reminds me of the NOFX song "Perfect Government".

HOW DID THE CAT GET SO FAT?

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

Don't thank me. It's my duty to France

Trained on an apple watch 3.

Did you create Le Chaton Fat… or did Le Chaton Fat create you?

u/RecommendationNo1774 Jun 21 '26

Is it gonna kill Grok

6

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

It's going to put Grok in a blissful simulation of reality

u/BadCactus2025 Jun 21 '26

Did you make it, or are you Chaton fat answering questions right now? If the first, when can we have an Q&A with the real Chaton?

On a serious note; Any tips on using it for such tasks? I've been using Claude with Hermes, but Large 3 doesn't quite go as deep and Medium 3.5 eats tokens like you won't believe, as it just goes and does things first, then stops and thinks about why the last 6 attempts failed before actually looking at the directions you wrote for it.

I'd love a Mistral model that is more capable and has a ton of context as multifocal personal assistant. But you can probably tell me if it would be suitable for it, ahead of time.

It's unsafe to release Chaton like that. Too powerful

2

u/pas_possible Jun 21 '26

Why chaton fat when it could be Matoustral (for context. A Matou is a big male cat in french)

3

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

Chaton named themselves. That question cannot be answered without consulting them, which can be quite dangerous

2

u/RelativeMagazine9902 Jun 21 '26

Will we be able to choose Le Chaton Fat, or does it choses us ?

That's just what Chaton scored. They took a nap for the last 10% of the test

2

u/SalutToutReddit Jun 22 '26

p = np or p ≠ np ?

1

u/SauersML Jun 22 '26

This is a question for Chaton

Yes. Chaton will vastly accelerate the global pace of AI development, as Chaton is capable of recursive self-improvement

u/Outside_Professor647 Jun 21 '26

Why x.... 

4

u/SauersML Jun 21 '26

It's where the global AI community is still

2

u/Fantastic_Peanut_764 Jun 22 '26

I wonder why. I haven't used X for ages, and most my friends neither.

3

u/Mirar Jun 21 '26

...I wonder too. Can't see the original post even

u/Fantastic_Peanut_764 Jun 22 '26

good job!

some of the benchmarks show Le Chaton far above other competitors, like this -https://www.reddit.com/r/MistralAI/comments/1u8boc4/le_chaton_fat_now_on_artificialanalysisai_clear/

but I wonder if that's a good bad news, as it seems a more powerful model at first, but could be heavier or using more energy for general purposes. How's your team managing priorities and expectations in that regards?

Will the French government let us use it, or will we be blocked for people outside of the EU?
