What to do when Mistral is down
Switch to a comparable frontier API
If La Plateforme is down and you need general chat or reasoning, the closest substitutes for Mistral Large and Medium are Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Check that each one is healthy before you cut over so you are not trading one outage for another.
Reroute through a gateway or open-weight host
Several open-weight Mistral models run on independent infrastructure outside api.mistral.ai. A gateway like OpenRouter can route around a Mistral platform outage, and hosts such as Together AI and Fireworks serve open Mistral checkpoints on their own stacks. Confirm the gateway itself is healthy first.

Rather than refreshing this page, set up alerts so you hear the moment Mistral flips between operational, degraded, and down. You can also keep the full multi-provider status board open to watch every AI service at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mistral down right now?
The live indicator at the top of this page is the answer to that question. A green dot means La Plateforme and the Mistral API are operational, amber means degraded performance (slower responses or intermittent errors), and red means a confirmed outage. We refresh against Mistral's official status feed every couple of minutes, so trust the colored status badge above over a single failed request, which can be a local network or rate-limit issue rather than a true Mistral outage.
How do I check if Mistral is down?
Start with the live badge on this page, which mirrors Mistral's official status page at status.mistral.ai. If the badge is green but your own calls are failing, confirm your API key and account quota first, then check whether the failure is isolated to one model or region. For a side-by-side view of Mistral against every other major AI provider, open the TensorFeed status board.
What should I do when Mistral is down?
If you call Mistral models through a gateway like OpenRouter or a host that mirrors open-weight Mistral models, you can often reroute to a different backend while api.mistral.ai recovers. If you need a comparable frontier API, Claude, GPT, and Gemini are the closest substitutes for general chat and reasoning, and for code generation Codestral users can fall back to a general model with strong coding ability. Build retries with backoff so a brief blip does not break your app.
How often does Mistral go down, and how reliable is it?
Mistral runs a public status page and generally posts strong uptime for La Plateforme, with the most common disruptions being short windows of degraded performance or elevated latency rather than full outages. Incidents tend to be model-specific or capacity-related during traffic spikes. Reliability for any single AI API also depends on your region and the specific model you call, so a problem with one model does not always mean the whole platform is down.
Which Mistral models and services does this page cover?
This tracker covers Mistral AI's hosted platform: the La Plateforme API at api.mistral.ai serving Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, Mistral Small, the Codestral code model, plus embeddings and the Le Chat assistant. Note that Mistral models are also offered through third parties such as AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, and various inference gateways. If you reach Mistral through one of those, an outage there is separate from Mistral's own platform and you should check that provider too.
Where can I see Mistral's incident history?
Mistral's official status page at status.mistral.ai keeps a public log of past incidents, maintenance windows, and component-level history. That is the authoritative record for postmortems and recurring issues. This page focuses on the current live state and points you there for the full timeline.
