French AI startup Mistral has officially entered the audio AI arena with Voxtral, its first open-source family of audio models designed specifically for businesses. Offering a cost-effective alternative to competing solutions, Voxtral supports transcription of audio segments up to 30 minutes long. Powered by the large language model Mistral Small 3.1, it extends understanding capabilities to 40-minute clips, enabling users to ask questions about audio content, generate summaries, and convert voice commands into real-time actions such as API calls or function execution.
Voxtral is multilingual, capable of accurately transcribing and comprehending English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, German, Dutch, and Italian. The company offers two main variants: Voxtral Small with 24 billion parameters for large-scale production use, rivaling models like ElevenLabs Scribe and GPT-4o-mini, and Voxtral Mini with 3 billion parameters optimized for local and edge deployments. Additionally, a streamlined, fast API-only version named Voxtral Mini Transcribe is available for transcription-specific tasks.
Users can explore Voxtral freely by accessing the API via Hugging Face or testing it within Mistral’s chatbot, Le Chat. The API integration pricing starts at $0.001 per minute, making Voxtral an accessible and powerful tool for businesses seeking advanced speech intelligence with open-source flexibility.
