The system prompt became more explicit
The card recommends a system prompt that states the assistant’s purpose, even if brief. It supplies a V7 conversation format with a separate system-prompt block. This version’s formatting should be retained when serving the checkpoint locally.Mistral Large 2.1 official model card
A text update released beside Pixtral
Large 24.11 launched alongside Pixtral Large, but the models have different inputs and checkpoints. Large 2.1 is the text release; Pixtral adds a vision encoder. The Large card keeps a 128K context and research-licensed weights.Mistral Large 2.1 official model cardMistral Large 2.1 primary source
