Magistral Medium 1.2
Early evidence, 10 results from 1 source, on 2 use cases. Magistral Medium 1.2 trails most of the field on what it has been measured on; it is not on sale through OpenRouter, so it is here for reference.
3rd most intelligent of the 16 models from developers based in the EU (all Mistral AI's). Compared with the models available today (it is not on sale itself), in the bottom quarter for agents and tool use.

Where it stands among the models you could choose
Ranked only among models available today (those you can call through OpenRouter), in the groups people choose between: the same price band, similar intelligence, the same speed, developers based in the same place. Retired models are left out.

The name under each rank is the leader of that group; green is the top quarter of the group and red the bottom quarter, by rank. Price is shown as a percentile: the share of the group that costs less, so lower is cheaper. "Sets this group" marks the measure the group is defined by. Spring Prompt overall is our score out of 100 across every source (how it works). Price is the developer's list price (or the typical OpenRouter host where we haven't read one) for three input tokens to one output; intelligence and speed are from Artificial Analysis (data sourced from Artificial Analysis); "similar intelligence" means within 4 points on its Intelligence Index. Developer locations are where each company is based, not where a model is served. Groups under 3 models are not ranked.
