Mistral Nemo
Mistral Nemo is a previous 12B Mistral snapshot built with NVIDIA, not the live catalog lead. older copy still said 12B / 128k / Apache 2.0 / function calling. Keep that as a dated snapshot, not a 2026 crown.
Compare Mistral Tiny if you wanted the leftover cheap 7B-v0.2 twin, Mistral Small if you wanted leftover Small v24.09, and Mistral Pixtral 12B if you wanted the leftover 2024 vision 12B.
Key Features
- Previous 12B NVIDIA snapshot: older copy is 12B, 128k context, Apache 2.0. Confirm live docs before you hard-code Nemo.
- Not the 2026 Mistral lead: Live catalog leads with Medium 3.5 / Small 4 / Large 3.
Use Cases
- People with a Nemo bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People who were about to keep Apache-2.0 Nemo as the current Mistral default.
Limitation: We did not re-download weights. Absence from the live pricing nav is not a takedown certificate.

First-party pages on 2026-08-18.
| Piece | Price | Notes |

| Live Mistral catalog | Confirm Medium 3.5 / Small 4 / Large 3 | Those names lead the public pages. |
| Dollar row | Confirm live Mistral API pricing | Confirm the live official page. |
If a leftover blog still calls Nemo the current Mistral 12B default, treat the live models page as the correction.

- Confirm Mistral Tiny if you wanted the leftover cheap twin.
