Is Le Gros Chaton opensource?

so i keep hearing about le gros chaton, the upcoming mistral model that allegedly destroys claude mythos, gpt-5.5, my sleep schedule, and possibly the french economy.

people say it has 1b context, self-improves in real time, writes perfect code, and only hallucinates in elegant parisian metaphors. the only downsides seem to be that it shuts down every 3 hours for a smoke break, refuses to answer before breakfast, and outputs all code comments in french.

but the real question is: will it be open source?

because if mistral really releases a fat kitten model that beats everything and runs locally, i’m ready to rename my entire homelab to “baguette cluster” and pretend i understand french licensing law.

also, can someone confirm whether “le chaton fat” is still accepted terminology, or do we have to say “le gros chaton” now to avoid getting ratioed by the ceo?
