What to know about Pixtral-12B-Base-2409

AI-compiled from linked model documentation. This is a catalog reference, not an independent performance review. Catalog checked October 23, 2026.

Which Pixtral-12B-Base-2409 does this page describe?

Pixtral-12B-Base-2409 is a model record from Mistral AI in the Pixtral family. Source

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 Pixtral-12B-Base-2409?

The catalog documents Open weights access for Pixtral-12B-Base-2409. Source

As of the catalog check, this version was listed without confirmed general availability. Source

Open weights means the model weights are distributed for use under their stated terms. It does not establish a hosted API, an open-source license, or a hardware requirement.

What are Pixtral-12B-Base-2409's context and output limits?

The publisher reports the context window as 128k tokens. Source We retain the publisher's notation and qualifiers; no exact token count or hosted serving allowance is inferred from it.

A separate maximum-output value is not established in this record. The context or input figure should not be used as an output allowance.

Context, input and output limits describe different constraints. Do not add the figures together to infer a larger window. Check the endpoint's accounting for conversation history, system instructions, tools, media and generated tokens; a documented maximum is not a guarantee of answer quality or a measured usable capacity.

What can Pixtral-12B-Base-2409 receive and generate?

Documented inputs: Text and Image. Source

Input support and output generation are separate capabilities. Reading an image does not establish image generation; a text output listing does not establish speech output. File sizes, formats and media limits depend on the documented implementation.

What license is recorded for Pixtral-12B-Base-2409?

The recorded license label is apache-2.0. Source

Read the linked license and associated use terms for this exact version before redistribution, commercial deployment or fine-tuning. A label alone does not establish every permission, restriction or obligation, and it does not determine the terms of a separate hosted service.

What distinguishes Pixtral-12B-Base-2409?

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

Nominal model components: 12-billion-parameter decoder plus a 400-million-parameter vision encoder. Source
Context as documented: 128k-token context is stated in the model card. Source
Image handling: Accepts images with variable dimensions. Source

A place to begin comparing

0 models to consider.

Matches must share an access route, support every documented input type of your starting model, and return text. When both publish a context limit in the same field, the candidate must fall between half and twice that limit. Unknown or differently defined limits remain as broader matches, after verified near-context matches. Within each group, recent documented releases appear first. These criteria do not establish equal quality. The full current inventory is considered.

No candidate meets the documented access, input/output and context criteria. You can still choose models manually in the comparison tool.

A record you can follow

The source belongs beside the fact.

Official sources

Model records cite the developer’s documentation, release notes and model cards. A listing alone is not a tested service or a recommendation.

Dates mean different things

Knowledge cutoff, training-data cutoff, training completion and release date are separate fields. A model’s name or repository upload date does not establish any of them.

Limits need context

Some publishers use rounded K/M token figures. Deployment, reasoning settings and regional access can change usable limits. Read the source before choosing.

Coverage and last check

Independent editorial model library assembled from primary vendor documentation and official publisher model cards. This is a dated, auditable inventory of the sources reviewed, not a claim to every model worldwide. First-party language-model inventory for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini/Gemma, xAI, Meta and Reflection. Includes vendor-listed legacy/retired identities with explicit statuses; official pretrained and instruction-tuned checkpoints remain distinct. Excludes embeddings, moderation/guard models, image/audio/video-only generation, community fine-tunes, speculative draft helpers, format/runtime/quantization duplicates, and PaliGemma dataset-specific benchmark fine-tunes. Availability means documented vendor API or downloadable official weights, not guaranteed account eligibility. Unknown specifications and dates remain null. Rounded K/M limits preserve vendor granularity; exact integers are used only where documented. No OpenRouter facts are used. Primary-source inventory of language-capable models from Alibaba/Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax, Z.ai, ByteDance Seed, Tencent, Baidu, Xiaomi, StepFun, 01.AI, Shanghai AI Laboratory, Baichuan and OpenBMB. Includes full reachable official public weight inventories plus documented hosted API models and explicit retirements. Embeddings, reward/classifier/router/tokenizer/draft-head components, standalone OCR/document converters and image/video/audio-only generators are excluded; multimodal language models retained. Official packaging variants are folded into aliases where a canonical listing was identifiable; remaining research/base/SFT variants retain exact identities. Not a guarantee every historical/private/regional model is available. Unknown specifications remain null; K/M API display quantities use decimal normalization where explicitly noted, rather than implying verified exact serving ceilings. Model-name dates and repository creation timestamps are never used as release/training dates. Open weights does not mean unrestricted or OSI-open-source licensing. Some model-card bodies were unreachable; their public inventory metadata is retained and disclosed. Official Mistral, Cohere, AI21, NVIDIA Nemotron, Microsoft Phi/MAI, Amazon Nova, IBM Granite, AllenAI OLMo/Molmo, TII Falcon, Nous Research, Arcee and Essential AI model inventory checked 2026-10-23. Includes base, instruction, reasoning, coding and text-producing multimodal models, including legacy API versions. Excludes embeddings/rerankers/reward and safety classifiers, image/audio/video-only generation, robotics-only models, duplicate quantization/runtime packages, adapters, intermediate checkpoint experiments, and third-party mirrors. Arcee coverage focuses on its named product families rather than exploratory merge repositories. Repository listing means listed, not independently verified API availability. K/M figures are nominal decimal normalizations when the source supplies shorthand; deployment-specific exact token limits may differ. Unverified values remain null. This is a source-backed inventory, not a complete claim-level independent editorial review. Supplemental official Liquid AI, Reka and Inception generative language catalog. Excludes media-only generators and decision/classification-only models. No assumed training dates.
