Voxtral Mini Transcribe 3
4B parameter offline transcription variant announced by Mistral on October 20, 2026. It converts audio to text and supports diarization and contextual vocabulary. The current specification includes 50 languages. It is a distinct model from Small and Mini Realtime, with its own price and hosted access in public preview. The declared size does not imply that its weights are available for download.

Multilingual transcription with speaker identification and domain vocabulary via context_bias. Offline and real-time versions are distinct models, not interchangeable modes of the same identifier. Preserve the exact model name and check project access during the preview. Commercial availability does not imply open weights nor rights over third-party recordings.
Offline model cards indicate 32k context, while the audio limits guide documents 65,536 shared tokens: we do not present either as a universal guarantee. Validate the limit of the contracted endpoint. Available timestamps are segment-level, not word-level. At launch, general chat about audio still uses Voxtral 2; we do not attribute that API to these transcribers. Review consent, privacy, and errors in proper names.

Public rates in dollars per minute of audio or per million characters, depending on the variant; they are not token prices. Numerical fields per million tokens are left blank to avoid false comparisons. Confirm billing conditions and availability before integrating. Private enterprise deployment requires a specific agreement; no downloadable weights have been published for these variants.

05 / EVALUATIONS
How to read the results
“
The published evaluation uses FLEURS for transcription and corpora such as AMI, Switchboard, CallHome, and AISHELL4 for diarization. WER, CER, and cpWER measure different things; results with known and inferred language should not be mixed either. We do not publish numerical values extracted with uncertainty nor attribute Small's results to Mini. Inferama's independent evaluation is pending.
i Provider evaluation; numerical scores not verified by Inferama.
Inferama only highlights a “best result” when the metric, test set, configuration, and date allow for an equivalent comparison. The supplier's figures are presented as claims from its own source.
