About Voxtral

Our Mission

Voice was humanity's first interface—long before writing or typing, it let us share ideas, coordinate work, and build relationships. As digital systems become more capable, voice is returning as our most natural form of human-computer interaction.

Our mission is to accelerate this future by making state-of-the-art speech understanding technology open, affordable, and accessible to developers and organizations worldwide.

Why Open Source?

We believe that the most transformative technologies should be available to everyone, not just those with the resources to access proprietary solutions. By releasing Voxtral under the Apache 2.0 license, we're enabling:

• Innovation: Developers can build upon our work and create new applications
• Transparency: Full visibility into how our models work and make decisions
• Control: Organizations can deploy and customize models for their specific needs
• Privacy: Local deployment options for sensitive applications

Technology

Voxtral builds upon Mistral AI's expertise in large language models, extending our capabilities to understand and process speech with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.

Our models combine the best of both worlds: the semantic understanding capabilities of advanced language models with specialized speech processing techniques that deliver state-of-the-art performance across multiple languages and use cases.

Performance & Efficiency

Voxtral models are designed to be both powerful and practical. We've achieved state-of-the-art results while maintaining reasonable computational requirements:

• Accuracy: Outperforms leading speech recognition models across multiple benchmarks
• Efficiency: 50% lower cost than comparable APIs while delivering superior performance
• Scalability: From local deployment to cloud-scale applications
• Multilingual: Native support for the world's most widely used languages
