What Mistral’s docs calledmistral-large-latest
On 26 November 2025, Mistral’s docs listed this Large-named alias under Mistral Medium 3.1 (mistral-medium-2508). Six days later, they listed it under Mistral Large 3 (mistral-large-2512). The exact live switch time is unknown. These revisions don’t show whether any request was served by Medium 3.1, when routing changed, whether rollout varied, or what any customer was billed.

The documented change
The table keeps the two change revisions separate from a later confirmation. The 3 September 2026 revision still contains the Large 3 name, fixed identifier and price.
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to see every column.

The documented prices moved in opposite directions
The price fields did not move together. They went from $0.40 input / $2.00 output per million tokens to $0.50 input / $1.50 output per million tokens: 1.25× for input and 0.75× for output. Those ratios compare source fields; they do not establish what a customer was billed.
The 3 September 2026 source still listed Mistral Large 3 as mistral-large-2512 at the same USD amounts, with the source label “GA.”
Sources and method
Every source link is pinned to a Git revision. That makes the documentation state reproducible without turning a commit time into a claim about the live service.
How I checked this record
This is a manual comparison of source files at pinned revisions, backfilled in 2026. A source revision time says when that repository state was committed. It does not say when the documentation was deployed or when a production alias changed. AI-Buzz did not observe the live service at those times.
Mistral’s pinned 3 September 2026 lifecycle policy says moving aliases may switch automatically. It does not establish when this historical alias moved or why a Large-named alias appeared under Medium 3.1, so those facts remain unknown.
The historical model files contain numeric prices per million tokens but no currency field. I normalized them to USD because Mistral’s pinned price component renders dollars and its current pricing helper defaults to USD.
