Analysis Summary

Magistral Medium 1.2 is a Mistral model with an intelligence index of 11.8 and a coding index of 21.3. Its strongest supplied results are in mathematics and problem-solving benchmarks, including an AIME 2025 result of 0.82 and a math index of 82. It also has measurable long-context and instruction-following performance, while its agentic index is low. Listed prices are $2 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens.

That profile makes it a reasonable candidate to test on specialized quantitative analysis, but it is not evidenced as a dependable general-purpose agent or leading coding model. The listed price is higher than the small models in this batch, so use it where its math-oriented strengths are relevant. Validate accuracy on domain-specific examples and keep human review for consequential calculations or client recommendations.
