Mistral: Mistral Small 4
mistralai/mistral-small-2603
Model weightsMistral 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).

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.

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).
- Providers in Europe
- Mistral
- Prices in Europe
- Mistral: $0.165/M tokens input, $0.66/M tokens output
- Base URL
https://eu.openrouter.ai/api/v1- 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
