CERN and Mistral have signed an intent to build an unreleased Large Physics Model for high-energy physics.

CERN and Mistral signed a statement of intent on October 15, 2026, to develop foundation models for scientific discovery, beginning with high-energy physics. The planned centerpiece is one pretrained Large Physics Model for collider physics, intended to support collision reconstruction, particle identification, anomaly flagging, and detector-design evaluation. The model would train on billions of simulated LHC collisions and has not been released. CERN cites about one exabyte of stored LHC data and expects a tenfold rise in collisions with the HL-LHC around 2030. The agreement is not a model release; wider scientific use is described as possible later.

Key facts
