Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
Mistral has released Medium 3.5, a 128B open-weight model that consolidates reasoning, coding, instruction-following, and vision capabilities into a single checkpoint, replacing three separate specialized models (Magistral, Devstral 2, and Mistral Medium 3.1). The model features remote agent capabilities that can autonomously file pull requests and perform software engineering tasks. This represents a strategic departure from the industry trend of specialized models, instead offering a unified architecture that handles multiple domains.
