Codestral Mamba 7B (Mistral)
Yes — Codestral Mamba 7B is retired. Mistral deprecated it on June 6, 2025 and shut it down on June 6, 2025; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Codestral 25.08.
A 7B code model built on the Mamba2 state-space architecture instead of a transformer, promising linear-time inference over long contexts. It is the only non-transformer Mistral ever served, and the only entry in the table whose deprecation and retirement fall on the same day - 6 June 2025, no notice period at all.
