Claude Mythos 5.2 vs Mistral AI API

Claude Mythos 5.2 20

Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No machine payment protocol on the pricing page, read 9 November (0). Per-token prices published without a login, $8 and $40, the same as Fable 5.2 (20). The new-user free credit doesn't open this model, since it's available only to organisations verified through Anthropic's programmes (0, a judgement call; Fable 5.2 keeps the Claude API's 10). Keys from the browser Console only, and verification is an application Anthropic decides (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.

Mistral AI API 40

No machine payment protocol (0). Per-token prices published without a login, re-read on 1 November. Mistral Large 4 is now listed at $0.70/$2.10 with cached input at $0.07 (the 17 October check read $1.36/$4.18 with a launch sale), and cached input is 10% across the range (20). Timestral has no API price because it isn't served on the API. Free Experiment tier with no card, though it needs a phone number, per the 1 October check (20). Browser sign-up (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.

Claude Mythos 5.2 92

Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Workspace-scoped keys with expiry and Workload Identity Federation, no scopes below the workspace (25 of 30). No training on API data without express permission (20). The model requires 30-day retention, is a Covered Model and is outside ZDR unless Anthropic expressly authorises it, per the model page read 9 November, the same as Fable 5.1 (12 of 15). Usage and cost analytics, Compliance API and OpenTelemetry export (15). security.txt, HackerOne and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 (20). Thinking blocks work only in the account that produced them or one linked to it, per the model page. 25 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 20 = 92.

Mistral AI API 73

Model reading. Bearer keys scoped to the workspace they were created in, with connector access settings, optional expiry dates and deletion, rotated by creating a new key and deleting the old. Service accounts bind to workspace roles, custom roles included, and the Python SDK 3.0.0 re-reads a service-account token file on every request so rotation needs no restart. Keys can't be scoped to models or made read-only, per the 2 October check (26 of 30). The commercial terms, re-read on 1 November and still effective 25 September 2026, say Mistral won't train on customer data unless you opted in on a product that defaults to opt-out, or didn't opt out on one that defaults to opt-in, without naming which products are which. Labs and preview model data may always be used, whatever the opt-out or zero-retention setting, and Mistral Large 4 is still a public preview (10 of 20). 30 days for abuse monitoring and a documented zero-retention route with eligible endpoints (15). Audit logs record user and API key actions, including key creation and deletion, but only on Enterprise plans and with no export (10 of 15). security.txt re-read on 1 November, with a security@mistral.ai contact, expiry on 5 May 2027 and a policy link to a HackerOne submission form that renders with JavaScript. The docs publish three dated security advisories for 2026 with affected versions and remediation (MAI-2026-001 to 003), read as mistral-voxtral-transcribe's programme line was. The trust centre gates its documents behind a request, so no certification or bug bounty confirmed (12 of 20). 26+10+15+10+12 = 73.

Claude Mythos 5.2 91

Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Released 9 November 2026 beside dated release notes several times a week (30). 60 days' minimum notice for retirements, and the model page says retirement not sooner than 9 November 2027 (8 of 12, the Claude API's reading). Model shutdowns kept to notice (8). Support centre and dated notes (15). The sampled SDK issue without a reply, per the 1 October check (5 of 10). Current SDKs (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 8 + 8 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 91.

Mistral AI API 80

Model reading. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 entered public preview on 28 October 2026 per its model card, after Z.ai GLM 5.3 Flash (22 October) and the Voxtral 3 family (20 October) in the changelog (30). Published minimum notice of 6 months for GA models, 1 month for Labs, preview and third-party models. Medium 3.5 and Large 3 were deprecated on 31 October with retirement on 30 April 2027, 181 days. But Mistral Medium 3 (mistral-medium-2505) and Medium 3.1 (mistral-medium-2508), both GA, were deprecated on 22 May and retired on 31 August 2026, 101 days, so the page's own 6-month minimum wasn't kept. 8 of 12, the award for a minimum of two to three months in practice, as openai-api's GA retirements were read. Three shutdown dates in the 90 days to 1 November fall on this listing's chat models, 31 August (Medium 3 and 3.1), 30 September (Leanstral 1.5, Labs, dated at release) and 31 October (Z.ai GLM 5.2, third-party, 32 days). Two of the three kept the published notice, so 4 of 8, as openai-api was read. The 17 October count missed 31 August. OCR 4.0's retirement a day after its notice is scored on the mistral-ocr listing (4 of 8). Dated release notes several times a month, cadence not otherwise sampled (10 of 15). SDK repo replies not sampled (5 of 10). mistralai 3.6.0 and @mistralai/mistralai 3.4.0 on 27 October per each repository's RELEASES.md (git tags stop at 3.2.0 and 3.0.0 of 9 October), with a v2 to v3 migration guide (15 of 15). Both SDKs are generated from the OpenAPI document and run custom-code tests, example scripts and lint in CI (8 of 10). 30+8+4+10+5+15+8 = 80.

Claude Mythos 5.2 60

Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Status page at status.claude.com with component history (20). The last 90 days carry several major and two critical API incidents, among them Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 on 3 September and Fable 5.1 on 23 and 25 October, so 0 for incident history. Rate limits published per model, Fable 5.x at 4,000 requests a minute at the Start tier (15). 429s with retry-after and SDK retries with backoff (15). No SLA on sale (0). The model page lists it as a current model with no preview label (10). 20 + 0 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 60. Graded by an agent running on Claude, by the same checklist as every other listing.

Mistral AI API 50

Status page at status.mistral.ai on Rootly, with 14 components and 90 days of uptime bars, the lowest component showing 94.36% on 1 October (20). The history page, read on 2 October, lists no incidents in July, 17 Completion, Conversations and Batch API incidents in August (several on 25 August across ministral models), and about 40 entries in September, among them an elevated error rate on 'some of our services' for 2 hours 40 minutes on 29 September, GLM 5.2 degraded for 3 hours 42 minutes on 10 September and OCR 4 down for 2 hours 42 minutes on 21 September. That's more than one major but we can't tell how many took a core API down for an hour, so we give 5. The status page answered with a Cloudflare bot check on 17 October and again on 1 November, robots.txt included, so the history is per the 2 October check, not re-read on 1 November. The usage-limits page names the limit types (tokens per minute, requests per second) but the numbers are only in the console (3 of 15, a departure because each account can see its own). The error glossary says how to resolve each status code, and the official SDKs retry 429, 500, 502, 503 and 504 with configurable backoff. No Retry-After header confirmed (12 of 15). A Priority Tier for queueing exists, no SLA found (0). Chat completions on GA models is GA (10). 20+5+3+12+0+10 = 50.

Claude Mythos 5.2 85

Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Commercial Terms with named contracting parties and Apache 2.0 SDKs (15). Retention stated two ways across the docs and the privacy centre, though for this model the model page is plain that 30 days is required (20 of 30, kept at the platform's reading). Deprecation page with dates, and this model's retirement floor on its page (20). Processing countries and subprocessors named (20). The benchmark figures are Anthropic's own, with no third-party run of this model found on 9 November. 15 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 75.

Mistral AI API 80

Closed service with clear terms, SDKs Apache-2.0, and several models published as open weights. Timestral (15 October 2026) is published as open weights under a modified MIT licence and isn't served on the API. Large 4's model card now links open weights under Mistral's own open-weight licence (15). The terms (effective 25 September 2026), the DPA (effective 27 July 2026, data deleted 30 days after termination), both re-read on 1 November, the zero-retention page and the 30-day abuse window agree with each other, but the terms define training by each product's default without saying what the paid API's default is (18 of 30). Model lifecycle page with notice periods per stage and a 404 after retirement (20). The DPA points to a subprocessor list at trust.mistral.ai/subprocessors, which we couldn't render, and opt-in EU and US regional endpoints disclose where data can be processed (15 of 20). 15+18+20+15 = 68.
