Known issues we've tracked

ENTERPRISE PRODUCT (2026-04-28 public preview): Mistral Workflows -- a Temporal-powered durable orchestration engine for AI workloads. Built on the same Temporal core that backs Netflix / Stripe / Salesforce, with Mistral-added streaming, payload handling, multi-tenancy, and observability. Python SDK v3.0, Helm-deployable workers, customer-perimeter data residency. Human-in-the-loop approvals via simple Python (wait_for_input()), full execution tracking in Studio, deploys cloud / on-prem / hybrid. Distinct from Vibe Remote Agents (the consumer-facing async coding sessions); Workflows is the enterprise infra layer that makes them and other AI workloads durable at scale. Live customers cited at preview: ASML, ABANCA, CMA-CGM, France Travail, La Banque Postale, Moeve. Pricing during preview not disclosed

Mistral Medium 3.5 SHIPPED 2026-04-29 in public preview, accompanied by two net-new agentic offerings: Vibe Remote Agents (cloud-based coding sessions, async + parallel, CLI or Le Chat entry) and Le Chat Work Mode (agentic chat for multi-step tasks across tools). The model is 128B dense, 256k context, and posts 77.6% on SWE-Bench Verified. Pricing is $1.5/$7.5 per million tokens (input/output). 'Flagship merged' framing means Medium 3.5 supersedes Medium 3 for new workloads -- existing Medium 3 deployments continue to work

Voxtral TTS English output is competent but trails ElevenLabs v3 on expressiveness -- it's positioned as an open-source alternative, not a quality leader
