Mistral model for multilingual chat, reasoning, and tool-assisted workflows
Mistral Medium 3 is offered by 10 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 9 of them. Its official list price is $0.40 per 1M input tokens and $2.00 per 1M output tokens. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 9 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.80 per 1M, that is roughly 11 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.
The context window is 131,072 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 131,072, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and PDF. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-05.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
