Magistral Small 1.2 (Mistral)
Yes — Magistral Small 1.2 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on April 30, 2026 and shut it down on July 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral Small 4.
The open-weights counterpart to Magistral Medium 1.2, Apache 2.0 and small enough to run on a single consumer GPU, which is why it showed up in a lot of local reasoning setups. Its API id retired on 31 July 2026 alongside the rest of the line, but the weights it shipped are still downloadable.
