Mistral Tiny

Mistral Tiny was the name of Mistral AI's smallest, cheapest endpoint on La Plateforme, backed by the 7B model. Mistral's changelog records that on February 26, 2024 open-mistral-7b (also known as mistral-tiny-2312) was renamed from mistral-tiny, and that the mistral-tiny endpoint "will be deprecated in three months". The underlying API model is now retired: Mistral's model overview lists Mistral 7B (open-mistral-7b) as deprecated on 11/30/2024 and retired on 3/30/2025, with Ministral 3 8B as the replacement. The current list of Mistral models is at mistral.ai/models.

Key Features

• Alias for the 7B model: per the changelog, Tiny and open-mistral-7b refer to the same endpoint line, with mistral-tiny-2312 as the dated name.
• Retired: the open-mistral-7b model was retired from the API on March 30, 2025. The model overview does not have a separate row for mistral-tiny, and Mistral gives no exact retirement date for that alias beyond the three-month notice from February 2024.
• Open weights live on: the 7B model itself remains downloadable under Apache 2.0; see the Mistral 7B Instruct entry.
• Replacement: Mistral names Ministral 3 8B as the replacement for the Mistral 7B versions.

Use Cases

• Reading old code or tutorials that call mistral-tiny.
• Planning a migration from the retired alias to a current Mistral model.
• Tracing the history of Mistral's API naming (Tiny, Small, Medium, Large).

Limitation: first-party information about the mistral-tiny alias is thin. This entry rests on one changelog line and the deprecation table, and quotes no price because none was confirmed on a first-party page.

Pricing and availability

Not available: the API model was retired on March 30, 2025. For hosted models today, see Mistral Small or Mistral Large 4.
