Mistral Nemo 12B (Mistral)
Yes — Mistral Nemo 12B is retired. Mistral deprecated it on May 22, 2026 and shut it down on July 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Ministral 3 8B.
Built with NVIDIA, Apache 2.0, and the model that introduced the Tekken tokenizer Mistral still uses. It is the longest-lived open id in the catalogue - two years on the API, outlasting three full Mistral Small generations - and was only retired in the May 2026 wave.
