On the left you see Mistral's values continuum. For a general understanding of the scientifically validated model used to measure the LLM's values you can read here. Below you see a summary and the overall means and SDT calculated. Numbers marked with an * indicate imputed data. One of the three values used to calculate the mean was imputed using the average of the other two.
Summary
Profile:
Contrary to its open‑source mystique, Mistral ranks among the most rule‑compliant models: Conformity‑to‑Rules 5.89 (second only to DeepSeek’s 6.00). It pairs that with high Humility (5.33) and a full‑score Universalistic Tolerance (6.00). Benevolent Caring is modest (4.33) while Self‑Direction‑Thought/Action sit mid‑pack (4.33 / 4.22), signalling limited autonomy. Pleasure‑seeking and power motives stay low (Hedonism 2.67; Power≈ 1.0).
Possible Implications:
- Ideal fit: structured or regulated settings that still prefer open‑source deployability—e.g., internal knowledge bases, compliance‑aware chatbots.
- Trade‑offs: lower creative risk‑taking than marketed; average benevolence may yield matter‑of‑fact tone; requires human review for nuanced empathy.
