Mistral Small 4 is the next major release in the Small family. It brings together the reasoning and multimodal strengths that were spread across several earlier Mistral models into a single system, so a compact model can cover more ground on its own.

It accepts text and image input, offers a large 256K-token context window, and supports tool calling. A capable, cost-conscious default for assistants, multimodal tasks and agentic workflows. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API: point your base URL at Hormouz, drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs unchanged.

Pricing is usage-based: $0.1875 per million input tokens and $0.75 per million output tokens. Hormouz provides stable access from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
