Magistral Medium 1.2 (Mistral)
Yes — Magistral Medium 1.2 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on May 22, 2026 and shut it down on July 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral Medium 3.5.
The last Magistral Medium, and the one that added vision to Mistral's reasoning line. It survived ten months, longer than either 1.0 or 1.1, and died with the rest of the family when Mistral folded explicit reasoning into Medium 3.5 as a mode rather than a model.

What to use instead
Magistral exposed its chain of thought in a dedicated block. Medium 3.5 handles reasoning as a request-level setting, so the response shape is not the same and thinking-token accounting changes with it.
