Automated excerpt
The model card describes a mixture-of-experts model with about 1T total parameters and about 52B active per token. Mistral calls the license "a modified MIT license." Its key clause, Section 2, says that if you or any of your affiliates "operates a Model as a Service business," you "must enter into a separate commercial license with Mistral before using the Model or its derivative works for any commercial purpose" (license text). The model card's vLLM and SGLang server commands both use 8 GPUs with tensor parallelism.
