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 archived prices separated from current availability.

Q · 01 What is Mistral Medium 1 priced at? +
Mistral Medium 1 is shown here at $2.7/M input and $8.1/M output. For retired or deprecated rows, the price is preserved as an archive baseline.
Q · 02 Is Mistral Medium 1 still available? +
Mistral Medium 1 is retired in the current Mistral docs. Use mistral-medium-3-5 for new production traffic when available.
Q · 03 Does Mistral list prompt caching for this model? +
No separate prompt-cache SKU is published for this row. The calculator therefore treats cache-hit input as the base input rate, $2.7/M, so the effective blend does not assume a hidden discount.
Q · 04 What does the effective price mean? +
The effective tile uses the site-wide agentic blend: 92% input tokens, 8% output tokens, and no cache discount unless a vendor lists one. For Mistral Medium 1, that gives $3.13/M.
Q · 05 Where does the archive price come from? +
For active rows, the price comes from Mistral's current pricing or model card. For retired rows, AI//COST preserves the verified snapshot price and uses Mistral's current docs to verify deprecation, retirement, and replacement status.
Q · 06 Is there a batch discount? +
Mistral exposes batching in the API docs, but this archive row does not publish a separate per-model batch rate. The calculator keeps the baseline token prices visible and avoids inventing a discount.
