Efficient Mistral model for fast chat, extraction, and production assistants
Mistral: Mistral Small 3.2 24B is offered by 3 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.20 per 1M input tokens and $0.40 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is OpenRouter at $0.094 / $0.25 per 1M, about 2.1× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
The context window is 128,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 256,000, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Image and Text. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2023-10-31.
