# Mistral AI — Voxtral Small Transcribe 3 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is the record of one model version: what the model registry states about it, Mistral AI's launch post, the first-party posts this record holds about it, the outlets that reported on those posts, and other companies' announcements that it runs on their platforms. A model ranks nothing here and nothing is composed: each date names whose it is, and a field nothing states is `not stated` rather than missing. - This model's page: https://forck.live/models/voxtral-small-transcribe-3 - Mistral AI's page: https://forck.live/company/mistral-ai - Every model: https://forck.live/models - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Model - Name: Voxtral Small Transcribe 3 - Company: Mistral AI (mistral.ai) - Launch post: Voxtral 3 — https://forck.live/items/25280-voxtral-3 - Announced: 2026-10-20T12:00:22+00:00 - Launch source: https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral-3/ - Launch chosen by: a person, pinned in the model registry - Released (per models.dev): 2026-10-20 - Listed (per OpenRouter): not stated - Open weights: not stated - Posts about it: 1 - Outlets named under its posts: 4 - Variant: Voxtral Mini Transcribe 3 — https://forck.live/models/voxtral-mini-transcribe-3 - Price: Mini variant is 4B parameters, enabling fast and accurate transcriptions at a price of $0.0035/min. — from https://forck.live/items/25280-voxtral-3 ## Posts about it _Mistral AI's own posts whose title names Voxtral Small Transcribe 3, and its launch post, in the record's order: dated newest first, undated last. The record reads the newest 50 first-party posts mentioning the model, every company's together, so a model mentioned more often than that lists the newest of them._ Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. ### Mistral AI — Voxtral 3 - Company: Mistral AI (mistral.ai) - Announced: 2026-10-20T12:00:22+00:00 - Category: product-launch - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral-3/ - Record: https://forck.live/items/25280-voxtral-3 - Subject: Mistral / Le Chat Mistral has introduced Voxtral 3, a family of speech-to-text and text-to-speech models paired with a voice agent SDK that combines listening, reasoning, tool calling and speaking in one real-time streaming pipeline. The company says building voice agents that can listen, reason, act and speak reliably at the same time has remained difficult, and Voxtral 3 is meant for contact-center agents, service desks, virtual assistants and hands-free copilots. The speech-to-text model, Voxtral Small Transcribe 3, is state-of-the-art in multilingual transcription and covers more than 50 languages, including 24 official EU languages, with diarization, context biasing and end-of-turn detection. Mistral says it outperforms Whisper, Scribe v2 and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, while the 4B-parameter Mini variant transcribes at $0.0035 per minute. Voxtral Mini TTS 3 handles speech synthesis in more than 35 languages and 50 dialects, with voices that adjust emotion, pace and emphasis to the conversation. Pro Voice adaptation can reproduce a speaker's character and speaking style across languages from 30 minutes of audio. Voxtral 3 is available today through Mistral's EU-hosted API or for self-deployment, so organizations control where audio is processed and whether conversations are retained. ## Who reported on it _Outlets this record can name and link, under the first-party post each one covered. Their number is `Outlets named under its posts` above, and the rows are not totalled again. A post's own `Coverage` can be higher: it counts outlets the signal saw that this record cannot name and link._ ### On: Voxtral 3 Record: https://forck.live/items/25280-voxtral-3 - TestingCatalog — Mistral launches Voxtral 3 with a voice agent SDK (2026-10-21T06:12:44+00:00): https://www.testingcatalog.com/mistral-launches-voxtral-3-with-a-voice-agent-sdk/ - MarkTechPost — Mistral AI Releases Voxtral 3: Speech-to-Text, TTS and a Voice Agent SDK (2026-10-21T06:03:12+00:00): https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/10/20/mistral-voxtral-3-speech-models-voice-agent-sdk/ - The Decoder — Mistral AI launches Voxtral 3, a full voice agent stack that listens, thinks, and talks in real time (2026-10-20T17:17:55+00:00): https://the-decoder.com/mistral-ai-launches-voxtral-3-a-full-voice-agent-stack-that-listens-thinks-and-talks-in-real-time/ - Tech Times — Mistral Voxtral 3 Cuts Full Voice Agent Pipeline to One SDK at $0.04/min, Beats Whisper: https://techtimes.com/articles/329296/20261021/mistral-voxtral-3-cuts-full-voice-agent-pipeline-one-sdk-004-min-beats-whisper.htm --- Record: https://forck.live/models/voxtral-small-transcribe-3 Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt Current issue: https://forck.live/feed.md
