Model weights

Mistral Small 4 is the next major release in the Mistral Small family, unifying the capabilities of several flagship Mistral models into a single system. It combines strong reasoning from Magistral, multimodal understanding from Pixtral, and agentic coding capabilities from Devstral, enabling one model to handle complex analysis, software development, and visual tasks within the same workflow.

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick: Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.

Available through EU in-region routing

Mistral: Mistral Small 4 is available through EU in-region routing. Requests sent to eu.openrouter.ai are decrypted in the EU and routed only to shared provider endpoints in Europe (the EU/EEA, the UK, and Switzerland).

Plan
Requires Business or Enterprise. Self-serve on Business: no contract, no monthly minimum. OpenRouter Business for EU in-region routing

Fails closed: if no shared provider endpoint in Europe is available, the request errors instead of leaving the region. Requests served by your own BYOK key go to your deployment’s region, which you control. In-region routing docs
