Mistral Medium 1.0

2023-12-112025-06-16 · lived 1 year, 6 months

The first Mistral model with no weights behind it, from the lab whose reputation was built on giving them away — the launch announcement called it a prototype, and it carried production traffic for eighteen months anyway. It scored 8.6 on MT-Bench against the 8.3 and 7.6 of the two open endpoints it launched beside, and it was retired without ever having been released.
