Mistral released a new, open model. Aside from the size inflation, they announced in their blog post that they will move away from the Mistral Research License to Apache 2.0, the license they used for their first models, like Mistral 8B and Mixtral. This is big news for opening up more downstream use!

OpenRouter publishes daily token totals for its ~50 most-served models. Days missing from the chart mean Mistral Small 3 Instruct 2501 fell below that cutoff — not zero usage. OpenRouter logs usage separately per dated model version and per variant (like ":free"); the hub combines provider variants while keeping separately cataloged releases distinct.
