European AI models from Mistral, H Company, LightOn, and Aleph Alpha — ranked models first, then tracked sparse rows.
Europe has a credible model ecosystem, but it is more fragmented than China or Korea. This page shows the full tracked European surface on BenchLM: ranking-eligible Mistral rows first, followed by tracked but currently sparse rows from Mistral, H Company, LightOn, and Aleph Alpha.
BenchLM currently tracks 25 European models. Only 2 are ranking-eligible today, so this page shows the full tracked set: ranked European rows first, then tracked but benchmark-sparse models below. Right now the ranked subset is led by Mistral Large 2 and Mistral 8x7B v0.2, while the remaining 23 rows are still useful to browse for sovereignty, document AI, and computer-use coverage even when they are not ranking-eligible yet.
The best open-weight option is Mistral 8x7B v0.2 (ranked #2 with a score of 30). Open-weight models are highly competitive in this category — self-hosting is a viable alternative to proprietary APIs.
This ranking is based on overall weighted scores across BenchLM.ai's scoring formula tracked by BenchLM.ai. For detailed model profiles, click any model name below. To compare two specific models head-to-head, use the "vs #" links.
