No general-family board lists this model yet. Its point estimate is the precision-weighted mean of every channel that spoke for it; each channel’s share is the weight it carried. Independent measurements replace this placement as boards list the model.
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Experimental estimate. This layer predicts from admitted evidence and safe metadata only. It never enters ModelCap Score or rank.
Not yet published: admitted benchmark results, results across several capability areas, results from more than one source, a confident match to its benchmark entries, pinned evaluation dataset versions.
A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

Mistral Small 3.2 24B holds ModelCap Index position #251 of 352 ranked language models as of 6 November 2026, with an Index score of 27.6 (interval 13.9–41.3); evidence: modeled · succession. The Index combines public benchmark boards with published uncertainty; the methodology page explains the weighting.
Mistral Small 3.2 24B is listed at $0.075 per 1M input tokens and $0.20 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026 across 4 providers. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $0.25 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
Mistral Small 3.2 24B has a published context window of 256K tokens (256,000). The snapshot lists a 16,384 token catalogue-declared route output cap.
