Mistral Large 2.1 (Mistral)
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.
