    Classification

    Jurisdiction tier
    EU / EEA — EU member state or EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) — GDPR applies directly.
    Caveat
    Speech is a phase-2 category — listed in data, not in the launch picker. Voxtral Mini TTS 3 (35+ languages) is in Public Preview; Danish is not among the languages Mistral lists for either model. The open weights are the March 2026 model only and are licensed CC BY-NC 4.0 (non-commercial); the newer model has no published weights.
    Compliance level
    Very high — Derived from the verified classification data on this site: Very high = EU/EEA jurisdiction + documented EU data residency + self-hostable option. High = EU/EEA + EU data residency. Medium = adequacy country + residency, or EU/EEA without documented residency. Each underlying claim carries its own source.

    AI Capability Snapshot

    AI Capability Index — normalised so the strongest model scores 100 (anchor: Claude Opus 5.5 (max effort)). How this is measured

    Capability indexNot yet scored
    Coding subscoreNot yet scored

    Text-to-speech is not covered by the text capability index. Voxtral 3 TTS ranks 12th of 98 on the Artificial Analysis Provider Voice arena (blind human-preference Elo; the leader scores 1336) and is the highest-ranked European-headquartered TTS model on that board.

    Published benchmarks

    Vendor-published code benchmarks. These are not directly comparable to the two normalised scores above.

    Scored on
    Not scored on the text capability index: Voxtral TTS is a text-to-speech model, so the AA Intelligence Index does not apply. Ranked instead by AA Speech Arena Elo (see published benchmarks).
