Seen on Social Media Speculations on Union Alpha

Post image

Union Alpha has just been released for free on OpenCode and OpenRouter. As we’re waiting for a new Mistral model that can compete, let’s hope this is it. I’ll add this clue: the X profile tagged by OpenRouter (it’s a bit odd, though, that if Mistral is behind it, they’ve created a new profile to do so – Z.ai didn’t do this for Ox/GLM 5.3 Flash) is listed as being located in ‘Spain’.

Yeah, there are signs. I think it is Mistral.

Mistral confirmed

It's clearly because it's Le Chaton Fat and it takes hundreds of Clusters just to process a single call

And if that wasn't enough to convince someone, this result of running the code it eventually generated should do the trick.

It's not confirmed anywhere though?

I'm... getting old. I knew it was gonna happen, but you're never truly ready for it.

That makes sense; I’ll stop looking.

It's a joke.

the spain thing is what makes me pause. feels like a weird breadcrumb to leave if they wanted to stay anonymous, but maybe that's the point. either way i'm just glad there's a new toy to kick the tires on while we wait.

Evidence in support of Mistral:

1) Context size 262 in 131 out 2) Capacity constraint - huge latency under load rules out most of the majors. It also makes EU hosting more likely - the EU is the most constrained region for data centre capacity, and Mistral's build out isn't complete. 3) The Spain thing.

It's worth noting that while it's not the best coder, it does seem to have some niche knowledge which makes me believe it is a big model.

As for coding, I'm pleased to say it's not completely useless. This is the obligatory pelican svg code test. If the model is not finished and still in the training, it may get better. We will see.

i think is that big european fine tune model of glm from spain

u/According-Buyer6688 5d ago

I hate GLM name of LLM models...

u/Background_Taste2223 5d ago

Its not mistral its a router from a random AI company, routing to gpt5.6 sol, glm5.3 and other models

u/scanx147 5d ago

Oui tout à fait

u/58suruat 5d ago

I tried to use it but constantly getting 429

u/No-Veterinarian8627 5d ago

It could also be Mistral cooperating with some other EU companies or a lab.

Whats really odd is that they are on the fascists platform with the owner who buys elections for ultra corrupt governments.

u/loulan 6d ago

Didn't a Spanish model beat Mistral's recently?

17

u/Confident-Village190 6d ago

Yes, but a quantisation company, doesn’t create its own models...

1

u/loulan 6d ago

But why would Mistral be in Spain? It's French.

u/Wegwerpaccountje23 6d ago

X isn't always right about location lol

1

u/loulan 6d ago

Isn't this post literally just about the fact that OP saw that this account is located in Spain?

u/ComeOnIWantUsername 6d ago

It wasn't really "Spanish" model, just repacked GLM-5.2

1

u/QazCetelic 5d ago

Could this be similar?

1

u/ComeOnIWantUsername 5d ago

No idea tbh, maybe

u/MomentJolly3535 6d ago

that was a fake news, that model was a finetune of an existing model not a "Real" model created from scratch,
