Mistral Small (Feb ’24)
Analysis Summary
Mistral Small from February 2024 is an early release in Mistral's small model line. Its benchmark profile is weak across the board: GPQA of 0.302, MMLU Pro of 0.419, and livecodebench of 0.111 place it well below current competitive small models. It has been substantially superseded by later Mistral releases.
For business use, this model is not recommended for any demanding workflow. Its reasoning, coding, and instruction-following capabilities are all limited, and it lacks the agentic or long-context features needed for modern business automation. It may handle very simple classification or extraction tasks, but even there, newer models offer better reliability at similar or lower cost.
At $1 per million input tokens and $3 output, the pricing is not competitive given the capability level. Businesses should migrate to a more recent Mistral model or an alternative provider for any production use case.
