Key releases include:\n- Meta released Llama 3.2, the latest iteration in its Llama series, featuring enhanced multilingual support across 120 languages and improved reasoning benchmarks. The model is available in 8B, 70B, and a new 400B parameter variant optimized for sparse activation (Mixture-of-Experts). It outperforms prior open models on MMLU (86.7%) and GSM8K (91.2%). The model is licensed under the Llama 3 Community License.\n- Source: [https://ai.meta.com/llama](https://ai.meta.com/llama)\n- 2. Mistral AI – Mixtral 2 (March 2026)**\n\n## Analysis\nMistral AI launched Mixtral 2, a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 14 experts and 120B total parameters (13B active per token). It supports 32,768-token context windows and demonstrates strong performance in code generation and mathematical reasoning. The model is released under the Apache 2.0 license.\n\nSource: [https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-2](https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-2)\n\n**3.
