Sovereignty and hosting

Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

Mistral NeMo is a 12B model built with NVIDIA, released under Apache-2.0 with a 128k-token context window and a Tekken tokenizer. The card reports 68.0% on 5-shot MMLU and lists English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Russian as supported languages. It remains a common choice where a permissive licence and a small footprint matter more than peak quality.

Verification status

Where a field has no source, the card shows it as unverified instead of filling it in. An empty field is information.

LLM EU Verified means documented, not legally certified. It is not an AI Act conformity assessment and LLM EU is not an EU body.

Example request

curl https://api.llmeu.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMEU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"mistral-nemo-12b","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

No playground is deployed for this model: no endpoint serves it, so a request would have nowhere to go.
