## AI overview

Mistral AI announces Pixtral 12B, an open-source multimodal model trained on interleaved image and text data. It combines a new 400M-parameter vision encoder with a 12B-parameter decoder based on Mistral Nemo, supports variable image sizes and multiple images in a 128K-token context window, and is released under the Apache 2.0 license. The article reports strong multimodal reasoning and instruction-following performance while maintaining text, coding, and math capabilities.
