Mistral model for multilingual chat, reasoning, and tool-assisted workflows
Mistral Medium 3 is offered by 5 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.55 per 1M input tokens and $2.75 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is NanoGPT at $0.40 / $2.00 per 1M, about 1.4× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
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. Median output speed is 46 tokens per second, with 2.29s to the first token.
The context window is 131,072 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 131,072 to 262,144, 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 2025-03-31.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
