Availability: Mistral announced this deprecation on 2026-05-22 and retired mistral-medium-2505 on 2026-08-31, naming Mistral Medium 3.5 as the replacement. Verified 2026-08-31 against Mistral's deprecated-and-retired models table, which still carries exactly that date pair, and against Mistral's API rate card, where the model is absent while its peers — Mistral Medium 3.5, Small 4, Large 3 and the Ministral 3 family — are all still priced. The rate above is what the model last cost, not a rate Mistral will sell you today; the named successor lists at $1.50/$7.50 per 1M.

Price receipt

Historical price.This model is retired — withdrawn on — so the provider no longer sells it and its page can no longer confirm this number: a price for a model no longer on sale is unconfirmable by definition, not missing. The figures above are the last prices we recorded for this model, kept as a historical record rather than a live quote.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 25th2 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 31.2

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.
