Summary

Mistral describes Voxtral Mini Transcribe Realtime as an efficient model pretrained and optimized for live transcription only. Its model page lists version v26.02 as generally available under Apache 2.0. Mistral exposes it through the API and for local execution.

Voxtral Mini Transcribe Realtime v26.02 is generally available under Apache 2.0 and can run through the API or locally. Its exact API model ID is voxtral-mini-transcribe-realtime-2602. Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2 remains the separate path for files analyzed later; the realtime variant stays specialized for transcription rather than general audio chat.

Independent evaluation. Direct API streaming evaluation; final-transcription WER across AA-AgentTalk (50%), VoxPopuli (25%), and Earnings22 (25%), about eight hours total. WER is duration-weighted within dataset; Earnings22 chunking is reassembled at parent-call level. AA-WER v2.2 streaming protocol.

Methodology
Official benchmark leaderboard. Coval endpoint key mistral/voxtral-mini-transcribe-realtime-2602, exact Mistral API model ID voxtral-mini-transcribe-realtime-2602, hosted by Mistral. The route names the 2602 realtime checkpoint, not a family-level Voxtral result. Rolling 30-day window, re-measured daily.
Context
This is Coval's pooled corpus-level STT WER, not the separate per-clip mean_value or a rounded leaderboard headline. Pooled WER and mean per-clip WER are different aggregations and should not be compared as the same score. The WER row's sample_count is used, not another metric's count or a roster total. The result describes Coval's hosted 30-day endpoint cohort, not local or native performance.

2026-10-16
Methodology
Independent evaluation. The pinned results table reports semantic WER over 1000 attempted samples from pipecat-ai/smart-turn-data-v3.1-train. WER Mean is the average across samples with a returned transcript; the table reports 99.3% transcript success, but does not give the exact number of WER-scored samples. Semantic scoring by Claude Sonnet 5.5 ignores punctuation, contractions, fillers, and equivalent phrasings. The source does not document a language distribution; its dataset preview shows English transcripts.
Context
No exact WER-scored N or model-specific confidence interval is published. The 1000 figure is attempted samples, not the WER denominator. The README says differences below about 0.25 percentage points are within the 95% bootstrap interval among the most accurate services, so do not rank close scores.

2026-10-17
Methodology
Independent evaluation. Exact Mistral API model ID voxtral-mini-transcribe-realtime-2602; native causal streaming with 480 ms transcription delay, real-time paced 560 ms PCM chunks, final transcripts only. One saved run per system and corpus, frozen word-onset v2 references. Mega-ASR uses a fixed sample of 1,250 utterances from Voices-in-the-Wild-2M training splits, not its standard test set.
Context
This is a different dataset and protocol from the existing Oct 16 Voxtral results. The benchmark reports one saved run, without repeated trials or a confidence interval. The API model ID is not tied to an immutable serving build. AirCaps says its own A5Sv2 checkpoint was not optimized on the exact Mega-ASR items, but cannot determine whether third-party systems saw overlapping upstream data.
