Mistral retiring models during summer 2026

Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

On May 29, 2026, Mistral sent an email to its customers indicating it will retire models on May 31, June 30 and July 31 2026. For each model, there is a newer, better and most of the times, more expensive alternative.

Devstral Small 1.1, Mistral Small 3.2 and Magistral Small 1.2 are replaced by Mistral Small 4 at $0.15/$0.6 per million tokens. For those who were using the first two, it’s a 50% increase on input tokens and 100% increase on output tokens; ouch! For those using Magistral Small 1.2, it’s actually a 70%/60% decrease; nice!
