Pixtral Large (Mistral)
Yes — Pixtral Large 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.
A 124B multimodal model built on Mistral Large 2.1 with a 1B vision encoder bolted on, and Mistral's answer to GPT-4o on charts and documents. It retired on the same day as the text model it was built from, and Mistral has not shipped a Pixtral since - vision is now a property of Medium 3.5 rather than a separate family.
