Syn vs. Mistral Large 3

Syn is an advanced Japanese large language model, developed through a collaboration between Upstage and Karakuri, featuring nearly 14 billion parameters and specifically designed for enterprise use in various fields such as finance, manufacturing, legal, and healthcare. It excels in benchmark evaluations on the Weights & Biases Nejumi Leaderboard, demonstrating top-tier performance in accuracy and alignment while maintaining cost-effectiveness through its efficient architecture, which draws inspiration from Solar Mini. Furthermore, Syn showcases outstanding capabilities in Japanese "truthfulness" and safety, skillfully understanding intricate expressions and specialized jargon relevant to different industries. Its flexible fine-tuning options allow for the seamless integration of proprietary data and domain knowledge. Built for widespread deployment, Syn is versatile enough to operate in on-premises environments, AWS Marketplace, and cloud infrastructures, reinforced by strong security and compliance protocols tailored to meet enterprise demands. Impressively, by leveraging AWS Trainium, Syn can reduce training costs by approximately 50 percent compared to traditional GPU setups, enabling rapid customization for a variety of applications. This cutting-edge model not only boosts operational efficiency but also opens doors to more agile and responsive solutions for enterprises, ultimately transforming how businesses approach their challenges. Enhancing productivity and innovation, Syn positions itself as a vital tool for organizations looking to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Mistral Large 3 is a frontier-scale open AI model built on a sophisticated Mixture-of-Experts framework that unlocks 41B active parameters per step while maintaining a massive 675B total parameter capacity. This architecture lets the model deliver exceptional reasoning, multilingual mastery, and multimodal understanding at a fraction of the compute cost typically associated with models of this scale. Trained entirely from scratch on 3,000 NVIDIA H200 GPUs, it reaches competitive alignment performance with leading closed models, while achieving best-in-class results among permissively licensed alternatives. Mistral Large 3 includes base and instruction editions, supports images natively, and will soon introduce a reasoning-optimized version capable of even deeper thought chains. Its inference stack has been carefully co-designed with NVIDIA, enabling efficient low-precision execution, optimized MoE kernels, speculative decoding, and smooth long-context handling on Blackwell NVL72 systems and enterprise-grade clusters. Through collaborations with vLLM and Red Hat, developers gain an easy path to run Large 3 on single-node 8×A100 or 8×H100 environments with strong throughput and stability. The model is available across Mistral AI Studio, Amazon Bedrock, Azure Foundry, Hugging Face, Fireworks, OpenRouter, Modal, and more, ensuring turnkey access for development teams. Enterprises can go further with Mistral’s custom-training program, tailoring the model to proprietary data, regulatory workflows, or industry-specific tasks. From agentic applications to multilingual customer automation, creative workflows, edge deployment, and advanced tool-use systems, Mistral Large 3 adapts to a wide range of production scenarios. With this release, Mistral positions the 3-series as a complete family—spanning lightweight edge models to frontier-scale MoE intelligence—while remaining fully open, customizable, and performance-optimized across the stack.
