Available via a torrent link on GitHub and AI and machine learning development platform Hugging Face, Pixtral 12B can be downloaded, fine-tuned and used presumably under Mistral’s standard dev license, which requires a paid license for any commercial applications, but not for research and academic uses.

Mistral hasn’t clarified exactly which license applies to Pixtral 12B, however. The startup offers some models under an Apache 2.0 license without restrictions. We’ve reached out to Mistral for more information and will update this post if we hear back.
