Overview

  • Magistral Small is a 24-billion-parameter open-weight model available under an Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face for academic and commercial deployment.
  • Magistral Medium is accessible via Mistral’s Le Chat platform, API and leading cloud marketplaces to serve enterprise clients.
  • Both variants use chain-of-thought techniques for multi-step reasoning and support English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
  • Magistral Medium scored 73.6% on the AIME-24 math benchmark, matched top competitors on GPQA Diamond and LiveCodeBench and delivers up to 10× faster token throughput in Le Chat.
  • The dual release reflects a broader industry move toward logic-driven AI as Mistral challenges US and Chinese rivals with transparent reasoning and enterprise-grade performance.
