Mistral AI's first reasoning model

About

  • Magistral is Mistral AI's first reasoning model, specialized in domain-specific, transparent, and multilingual reasoning
  • Released in two versions: the open-source Magistral Small (24B parameters) and the enterprise version Magistral Medium
  • Chain of Thought-based multilingual reasoning, transparently providing the step-by-step logic in the user's language
  • On AIME2024, Magistral Medium scored 73.6% (up to 90%) and Small 70.7% (up to 83.3%)
  • Supports precise step-by-step reasoning and 10x faster response speed suited to various languages and industries, including regulated industries such as law, finance, and healthcare, data engineering, software development, and creative content

Magistral — Mistral AI announces its first reasoning model

  • Magistral is a reasoning model focused on real-world problem solving and feedback-based improvement
  • Dual release: Magistral Small, a 24B-parameter open-source version, and Magistral Medium, a more powerful enterprise version
  • Performance metrics:
    • Magistral Medium: 73.6% on AIME2024, 90% with majority voting
    • Magistral Small: 70.7% and 83.3%, respectively
  • Applies Chain of Thought reasoning across global languages and scripts, enabling native-level thinking
  • Suited to a range of tasks such as structured calculations, programming logic, decision trees, and rule-based systems
  • Le Chat's Think mode and Flash Answers features deliver 10x faster responses than competitors
  • The official paper includes evaluations covering the algorithms, training infrastructure, reinforcement learning techniques, and training insights

Model and technical details

  • Transparent reasoning process:
    • Magistral is optimized for multi-step logic, so users can check and trace the reasoning process in their own language
    • Stronger interpretability and verifiability than typical models
    • Aims for continuous model updates and rapid improvement
  • Multilingual reasoning: high accuracy and preserved logic in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and more
  • Response speed:
    • Magistral Medium, via Le Chat's Flash Answers feature, supports real-time reasoning and feedback with 10x higher token throughput than competitors
    • Demonstrated superior speed compared with major competing models such as ChatGPT

Open source and community participation

  • Magistral Small is released under the Apache 2.0 license
  • Users can directly analyze, modify, and rebuild its architecture and reasoning approach
  • Previous open-source models have been used in innovative research projects such as ether0 and DeepHermes 3

Broad use cases

  • Magistral is optimized for domains where precise step-by-step reasoning and transparency matter, such as law, finance, software development, and storytelling
  • Business strategy and operations
    • Can perform strategic planning, risk assessment, data-driven decision-making, and computing optimal solutions under complex constraints
  • Regulated industries and the public sector
    • Legal, finance, healthcare, and government professionals can trace logical reasoning paths and ensure auditability
    • Helps meet auditability of results and regulatory compliance
  • Systems, software, and data engineering
    • Improved quality of support for programming, project design, backend architecture, and data engineering compared with non-reasoning LLMs
    • Effective for multi-step tasks such as working with external tools and APIs
  • Content creation and communication
    • Magistral also shows excellent results in creative writing and storytelling
    • Can generate not only coherent text but also unique and quirky ideas

How to use and distribution channels

  • The Small version can be downloaded and self-deployed
  • The Medium version is available now on Le Chat (web), the API, and Amazon SageMaker
  • Support on IBM WatsonX, Azure AI, and Google Cloud Marketplace coming soon
  • Contact separately for enterprise-custom and on-premises deployments
