On Mistral, Large costs a third of Medium

2026/09/08

Per million tokens, Mistral Large 3 is $0.50 input and $1.50 output⁠[1]. Mistral Medium 3.5 is $1.50 and $7.50, which is three times the input and five times the output of the model named Large⁠[1].

The names do not order the prices, so reading the list by size is misleading. Mistral Small 4 sits between them at $0.15 and $0.60, and Codestral, which is for code, is $0.30 and $0.90⁠[1].

The Ministral 3 models are priced with input and output at the same rate: $0.10 for the 3B, $0.15 for the 8B and $0.20 for the 14B⁠[1]. Everywhere else here, output costs more than input⁠[1].

GLM 5.2 is on the same price list at $1.40 and $4.40, marked as a third-party model⁠[1]. It comes from Zhipu, in China, and is sold through a French platform.

Cached input is discounted by 90 percent⁠[1]. Outside text, OCR 4.1 is $4 per 1,000 pages, Voxtral TTS is $0.016 per 1,000 characters, and transcription is $0.003 per minute of audio⁠[1].
