§ 04 / TOKENIZER

Paste text. See tokens. See cost.

Estimate · mistral-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Frequently asked.

Practical pricing questions, with archive status separated from current pricing.

Q · 01 What is Ministral 3 14B priced at? +
Ministral 3 14B is shown at $0.2/M input and $0.2/M output. This rate is the live baseline used in the calculator.
Q · 02 Is Ministral 3 14B still available? +
Ministral 3 14B is active in the current Mistral lineup, with pricing checked against the vendor pricing page on 2026-05-18.
Q · 03 Does this model have prompt-cache pricing? +
Mistral does not publish a separate cache-read SKU for this row. The calculator therefore sets cached input to $0.2/M, the same as normal input, and does not invent a discount.
Q · 04 How is the effective price calculated? +
AI//COST uses the same agentic blend everywhere: 92% input, 8% output, and only published cache discounts. For Ministral 3 14B, that is $0.2/M.
Q · 05 Why keep an archive page? +
Archive pages are useful for invoice checks, migration planning, and comparing how model pricing compressed over time. They are clearly labeled so retired API rows do not look like current recommendations.
Q · 06 Are there regional surcharges? +
The Mistral public pricing page is denominated in USD and EUR. This page stores the USD baseline; currency conversion and localized calculator variants are handled elsewhere on AI//COST.
