Identity statement

Mistral: Mistral Small 3 is Mistral AI's model. Its measured tokenizer sits with the Cognitivecomputations group, which is evidence that it builds on the Cognitivecomputations tokenizer. Tokenizer reuse is normal engineering, open vocabularies travel between labs, and this says nothing against Mistral AI's authorship of the model itself.
