### Which Mistral Next does this page describe?

Mistral Next is a model record from **Mistral AI** in the Mistral family. [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next)

A separate version identifier is not documented in this record; the model name alone does not establish which snapshot a service runs.

### How can you access Mistral Next?

The catalog records the historical **API** access route for Mistral Next. [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next)

As of the catalog check, this version was marked retired. [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next) Check the linked lifecycle information before starting a new integration.

For a new integration, use the publisher’s replacement guidance and check its current account, region and endpoint requirements. Historical API access does not mean the retired endpoint can still be called.

### What dates are documented for Mistral Next?

**Release date: February 26, 2024.** [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next) This is a release milestone, not a knowledge or training cutoff. The source labels this “Release date on Mistral model specification.”

Neither a knowledge cutoff nor a training-data cutoff is established here. A release date, repository upload or filename cannot supply those missing dates.

### What distinguishes Mistral Next?

These details come from the linked publisher material for this model. Reported capabilities and training descriptions are publisher statements, not independent test results.

**Recommended migration**: Mistral recommends Mistral Large 3 for new integrations. [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next)

**Original design**: Mistral describes this retired prototype as designed for brief, concise responses; the page does not publish a context limit. [Source](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-next)

**Evidence still missing here:** complete input/output pricing, context or input capacity, and knowledge and training-data cutoffs. Missing documentation is not evidence that a feature is unavailable.

Headless Thrones has not independently benchmarked this model for this reference. Evaluate it on representative work before choosing it; these facts do not rank its accuracy, reliability, speed or suitability against another model.
