- R · What Makes It Special
- Mistral Saba, the first of Mistral's specialized regional language models: a 24B model trained on curated datasets from across the Middle East and South Asia, supporting Arabic and many Indian-origin languages, especially South Indian ones such as Tamil. Mistral says it answers more accurately than models over 5 times its size while being faster and cheaper; it ran on a single GPU at over 150 tokens per second, via API or locally, and Mistral's API retired it on September 30, 2025.
