large language model
Magistral-Small-2509, released by Mistral in September 2025, is an open-source 24-billion-parameter multimodal model that supports both text and images through special [THINK] tokens. It is designed for developers and researchers but lacks a polished UI for casual users. Pricing is competitive, yet free access is limited by GPU quotas.
Qwen3-Max, Alibaba’s advanced language model with over 1 trillion parameters, ranks 3rd globally, outperforming GPT-5-Chat. Its unique MoE architecture enhances efficiency and accuracy across diverse tasks, supporting over 100 languages. API accessible, it offers competitive pricing, positioning it to disrupt the enterprise AI market and challenge existing providers effectively.
