BenchLM is tracking Mistral Small 4, but this profile is currently excluded from the public leaderboard because it still lacks enough non-generated benchmark coverage to rank safely. Only non-generated public benchmark rows appear below.

Mistral Small 4 is a open weight model with a 256K token context window. It processes queries without explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, offering faster response times and lower token usage.

Mistral Small 4 sits inside the Mistral Small 4 family alongside Mistral Small 4 (Reasoning). This profile currently has 17 of 225 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.

Its strongest category is Instruction Following (#80). This performance profile makes it a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.
