# Mistral Small 2.0 — deprecation status

> Yes — Mistral Small 2.0 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on November 6, 2025 and shut it down on November 30, 2025; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral Small 4.

A 22B model released in September 2024 under Mistral's research licence, sold as the midpoint between Nemo and Large. It is the odd size in the family history: every Small before and after it is either 12B or 24B, and nothing Mistral ships today is 22B.
