What is Magistral Small 1.2?

What Magistral Small 1.2 is for

Open multimodal reasoning model for transparent analysis of text and images. The registry places it in the magistral family with a release date of 2025-09-18. This profile describes its documented interface and how to evaluate it for the intended task.

Inputs and request limits

The recorded inputs are text and image, with text output. The registry lists a 131,072-token context window and up to 131,072 output tokens. It also declares reasoning and function calling. These are specifications, not a measured quality or speed ranking. A host can impose its own request limits and support a different subset of features.

Deployment and cost

The registry marks Magistral Small 1.2 as an open-weight model. Check the linked checkpoint’s licence and runtime requirements before downloading or deploying it. Open weights describe availability, while licence terms determine permitted use. Local inference still requires hardware; a hosted route can charge separately.

No independently checked token rate is added from a hosting alias. Use the route’s current price and billing unit when comparing cost, including output, reasoning, cache behavior and retries where applicable.

What to test

Test photographs, screenshots and documents with the detail your application needs to read. Include small text, crowded layouts and questions whose answer is absent. Check whether the answer is supported by the image instead of accepting a plausible description.
