How much notice does Mistral give before shutting a model down?

Across 40 Mistral models where both the announcement and the shutdown date are published, the median gap is 91 days. The range runs from 0 to 198 days, and the tightest case on record is Codestral Mamba 7B at 0 days (2025-06-06 → 2025-06-06). That number is not published by Mistral or anyone else — it is computed here from their own dates, and it is what tells you how much runway a pinned model version really has.

How fast is the Mistral API once you migrate?

Knowing the shutdown date only solves half the problem. These are our own measurements of the live Mistral API, so you can see what the endpoint you are migrating to actually costs you in latency, by region:

Asia (Tokyo)	315 ms	100%
Europe (Germany)	100 ms	100%
South America (São Paulo)	257 ms	100%

How is this calendar maintained?

A scheduled job re-reads Mistral’s official deprecation page every week and rewrites this table from it. Entries that cannot be traced to a published source are not shown at all, which is why every row carries a source link. Dates change: providers extend deadlines and occasionally bring them forward, so this page reflects what the vendor documented at the last check, not a prediction.
