Mistral Large 2.1 (Mistral)

Retired

Yes — Mistral Large 2.1 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on February 27, 2026 and shut it down on May 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral Medium 3.5.

For most of 2025 this was what mistral-large-latest resolved to, which means a lot of code that never named a version was running it. Mistral did not route it to Large 3 when it retired it - it pointed at Medium 3.5, which is the clearest statement that the Large tier stopped being the top of the range.

Mistral names Medium 3.5, not Large 3, as the successor. If you want to stay in the Large tier for licensing reasons, mistral-large-3-25-12 exists and is Apache 2.0, but it is not the model Mistral points you at.

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

A shields.io endpoint per model, for READMEs that should go red when a model dies:

## Contribute

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.
