Open multimodal reasoning model for transparent analysis of text and images
Magistral Small 1.2 by mistral is currently listed from a single provider. Its reference price is $0.50 per 1M input tokens and $1.50 per 1M output tokens.
Artificial Analysis rates it 8.6 on the Intelligence Index, with 14.7 for coding. Against its lowest blended price of $0.75 per 1M, that is roughly 11 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.
The context window is 128,000 tokens, with an output limit of 40,000 tokens. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text and Image. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Price history accumulates from each data sync; currently only 1 sample(s) (2026-09-12). Each future sync adds a point, and once accumulated a line is drawn here.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
