# Mistral Ministral 3 3B — deprecation status

> No — Ministral 3 3B is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. Mistral has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

The smallest model Mistral serves over the API, and the successor to ministral-3b-2410. The 24.10 Ministrals were premier-licensed and lasted barely a year; the 25.12 rewrite is Apache 2.0 and shares its training run with the 8B and 14B, so the three now move as one family rather than as separately dated point releases.
