Mistral’s New Patent Claims Ownership of LLM‑Driven Tool‑Calling Code
Mistral secured US Patent 12,670,045 for a method where an LLM generates sandboxed code that encapsulates tool calls, pauses for client execution, then resumes. The claim could let Mistral enforce IP on a foundational LLM‑agent technique, raising concerns for open‑source tool‑calling implementations.
