The model is available in 8B and 70B parameter versions, optimized for both consumer hardware and data center deployment. It introduces enhanced long-context handling (up to 128K tokens) and better fine-tuning tools.\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 (MoE) model with 14 experts and 12B total parameters (4.5B active per token). It outperforms many 30B-class dense models on reasoning and coding benchmarks while maintaining low inference costs. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it supports multilingual and code generation tasks.\n\nSource: [https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-2](https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-2)\n\n**3.
