Mistral-hosted GLM 5.2 reaches its scheduled retirement date
An October 31 effective-date reminder for the September 29 notice, not a shutdown across all GLM providers.
Mistral’s September 29 changelog schedules its hosted zai-glm-5-2 for retirement on October 31, 2026, recommending zai-glm-5-3 at the same price. No switchover hour or time zone is specified. We have not sent API requests to test retirement; this is not a newly announced model story.
At verification, standard GLM 5.3 prices are US$1.40 per million input tokens, US$0.14 cached input and US$4.40 output. Mistral’s lifecycle policy says requests to retired model identifiers return 404. We recommend checking configured model names and testing the replacement before migration, not assuming automatic migration. This notice concerns Mistral hosting; it does not establish shutdown of Z.ai’s service, other providers or local weights.
