Mistral releases Magistral, its first reasoning model family
Mistral released Magistral, a reasoning model family in Small (24B, Apache-2.0) and Medium (enterprise) variants, optimized for chain-of-thought across math, coding, and multi-step agent tasks.
Why it matters
Mistral's first openly licensed reasoning model is a clear signal that the open-weight model race is now competing with closed labs on chain-of-thought quality, not just base chat quality.
