Mistral model deprecations

How Mistral retires models

Mistral announces a model’s deprecation as soon as a replacement is available, in General Availability or Public Preview. How long the model then lasts depends on its stage, its model lifecycle page says: 6 months for General Availability models, and 1 month for Labs, Public Preview and third-party models. During that time the model stays accessible. Once it is retired, requests to its identifiers fail.

General Availability models receive no silent updates; Labs and Public Preview models can get them, and a Public Preview model may be retired before it reaches General Availability. Aliases such as mistral-medium-latest or mistral-medium-3 move to newer versions, which can change behavior and pricing, so Mistral advises pinning a full version name such as mistral-medium-3-5.

Next shutdowns: mistral-large-2512 on April 30, 2027, mistral-medium-3-5 on April 30, 2027, voxtral-mini-2602 on April 30, 2027.
