Source box
This family currently includes 11 records tied to an exact published checkpoint and 1 broader or unresolved record. Identity is recorded per model so a representative checkpoint is never treated as the whole family.
Identity checked: 2026-08-21
Artifact identity does not establish licence or context truth. Those checks remain separate.

Coding
Codestral 22B
Mistral AI · Mistral
Best for: Coding assistant workflows
Local: Use the exact checkpoint and quantization that matches your hardware and latency target.
Devstral
Mistral AI · Mistral
Best for: Developer and coding workflow evaluation
Local: Use the exact checkpoint and quantization that matches your hardware and latency target.
Reasoning
Vision / multimodal
Pixtral Large
Mistral AI · Mistral
Best for: Vision-language assistant workflows
Local: For local work, pixtral-12b is the same lineage and the same image handling under a licence you can actually ship.
Pixtral 12B
Mistral AI · Mistral
Best for: Vision-language local and hosted experiments
Local: The most permissively licensed capable vision model on this page — the usual choice when a commercial product rules out the Llama, Gemma and research licences.
Local-friendly
Mistral Small 3.1
Mistral AI · Mistral
Best for: Builders who want a smaller capable model with permissive licensing and good local runtime support.
Local: A practical local candidate when quantized; still test memory use and context length on your hardware.
