Leanstral 26.03 (Mistral)

Retired

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

Mistral Leanstral 1.5 leanstral-1-5 Provider-recommended Active

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.

What parameters leanstral-1-5 accepts on modelparams.dev

Change the id

In most cases the migration is one string. Check the parameter differences before you ship — newer models drop older sampling knobs more often than they add them.

- "model": "labs-leanstral-2603"
+ "model": "leanstral-1-5"

How to use this site

# How to use modeldeprecations.dev

[modeldeprecations.dev](https://modeldeprecations.dev) answers one question per model: is it deprecated,
when does it shut down, and what replaces it. Every date on the site is cited to the
provider's own documentation, with the date we last checked it.

Three lifecycle states are used, matching the providers' own vocabulary:

- **active** — still supported, no deprecation announced.
- **deprecated** — the provider has announced it is going away. It still answers requests.
- **retired** — API access is gone. Requests fail.

A model can be active *and* carry a shutdown date: Anthropic publishes a
"not sooner than" date and Google publishes an earliest shutdown date for models
that are current and fully supported. Those are reported as scheduled shutdowns,
not deprecations, because that is what the provider actually committed to.

## Check one model

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/api/v1/models/openai/gpt-4-32k.json
```

Or fetch the page as Markdown, which includes the answer, the dates and the sources:

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/openai/gpt-4-32k.md
```

## Full catalog

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/api/v1/models.json
```

Ids are `provider/model`. Dated snapshots (`gpt-4-32k-0613`) are listed as aliases of
their canonical entry rather than as separate records.

Each entry carries `computed_status`, the lifecycle state recomputed against the build
date — so a model whose shutdown has passed reads `retired` without anyone editing data.

## Badges

Data lives in YAML under `models/{provider}/{model}.yaml` in the
[GitHub repo](https://github.com/mnfst/modeldeprecations.dev). Every lifecycle date needs a source URL; CI rejects a
date without one. Open a PR.
