# Mistral Voxtral Mini — deprecation status

> Yes — Voxtral Mini 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 Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2.

The first Voxtral, which did double duty as both an audio-understanding model and a transcription endpoint - Mistral's docs listed it twice, once under each job. That is exactly the ambiguity the 26.02 split was meant to fix, and both of the doc rows pointing at this id retired together on 31 May 2026.
