What the model leaves out

Mistral Large 3 ($0.50 / $1.50) is still sold but superseded by Large 4. OCR and voice models are priced per page or per minute and aren't modeled here.

Before you commit
  • Mistral Large 4 launched October 6, 2026 at 50% off for two weeks ($0.68 / $2.09 per million tokens); the list price modeled here applies after that.
  • Regional (EU) inference endpoints cost 10% more.
  • Agent API tools are billed on top of tokens: web search and code execution are $30 per 1,000 calls.
  • Enterprise APIs (SLAs, higher rate limits, regional controls) cost 75% above list price.
