Voxtral

Vendor: voxtral-small-24b-2507, as of 29 September 2026

Mistral's speech-to-text model, designed for continuous processing: the text appears during dictation rather than only after the recording, and in the FLEURS comparison the word error rate sits below that of the widely used reference model - language coverage is narrower in exchange. Because the weights are open, the model needs no transmission to a model vendor: in dedicated operation on reserved hardware in a German data centre the chain is closed, and the party bound there is the data centre operator via the chain obligation under section 203(4) of the German Criminal Code. When running on your own hardware on your own premises the disclosure question under section 203 does not arise at all.

Available through us

Everything section 203 requires is settled, including the provider's confidentiality undertaking, and nothing is stored at the provider, apart from a technical cache of a few minutes for Claude (zero retention). You do not have to clarify anything further.

What it is good for

  • More accurate than Whisper in the FLEURS comparison - 5.9 instead of 7.4 percent word error rate
  • Genuine streaming processing: text appears during dictation, not afterwards
  • Apache 2.0 and a vendor with its seat and data centres in the EU

Where it stops

  • 13 languages - not enough coverage for multilingual matters involving rarer languages
  • Only available since February 2026, and correspondingly less field experience than Whisper
  • Does not detect speaker changes by itself

Status through us

The same model, procured differently, is a different legal position. The status above refers to procurement through us; processing takes place in Germany.

Which route carries it, with which instrument and under which condition, we set out in full to the firm before it commissions us - section 203(4) requires that the chain can be checked, not that it is published. The full matrix, with the sources behind every route, can be requested in the German catalogue after confirming your e-mail address, and we go through it in the conversation.

Is Voxtral the right fit?

We go through your tasks and the route that carries them - and say plainly where it does not.
