Devstral Small 2 (Mistral)
Yes — Devstral Small 2 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on February 27, 2026 and shut it down on March 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral Medium 3.5.
Shipped under the labs prefix, which on Mistral's API means exactly what it sounds like: no support commitment and no expectation of a long life. It got five weeks between deprecation and shutdown and never graduated to a stable id, unlike Leanstral, which made the same journey out of labs successfully.
