Architecture, strengths and use cases

Mistral Small 4 119B A6B is an official self-hostable Mistral AI release in the Mistral Generalist Small track. It uses Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration, carries 119B / 6B MoE, supports a verified context window of 1,048,576 tokens, and exposes only source-certified checkpoints and runtime combinations. Its release, license and deployment facts are tied to the official repository revision rather than inferred from the family name.

Mistral Small 4 119B A6B uses Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration with 119B / 6B MoE. The stored architecture profile records 36 layers, hidden width 4096, 32 attention heads and a 1,048,576 token context ceiling where the official configuration publishes those fields.

License and self-hosting considerations

The full 119B resident weight set must fit across the selected GPUs. Context and concurrency add KV-cache memory; MoE active parameters do not replace resident-weight memory.
