About Mistral AI
Mistral AI develops language, vision and reasoning models alongside enterprise tools for deploying them. Its robotics programme includes Robostral Navigate, an eight-billion-parameter vision-language-action model that converts a single RGB camera view and a natural-language destination into local movement instructions.
Robostral Navigate can guide wheeled, legged or flying platforms without lidar or a depth camera, predicting either a target image position and heading or a short local displacement. Training combines 2.4 million simulated trajectories across 350,000 scenes with reinforcement learning, and the model is designed to generalise across robot size and previously unseen environments. Mistral released the model in July 2026 for embodied-navigation development.

Robostral Navigate is an 8B model that uses a single RGB camera and plain-language instruction to guide robots through complex environments. The launch materials list 76.6% success on the R2R-CE validation-unseen benchmark and simulation-only training before real-world transfer. The model is designed to generalize across wheeled, legged and flying robots, with applications cited across manufacturing, delivery, logistics and hospitality.
