Leanstral 26.03 (Mistral)
Yes — Leanstral 26.03 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on May 22, 2026 and shut it down on June 30, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Leanstral 1.5.
The experimental id Leanstral shipped under before it was promoted. It was deprecated on 22 May 2026 and switched off on 30 June, which is the normal outcome for a labs id: the model survives under a new stable name and only the experimental address dies.

What to use instead
A rename rather than a swap, but the id changes shape completely - there is no date stamp on leanstral-1-5, so anything parsing the trailing YYMM out of the model string will break.
