How Mistral Embed pricing works
Mistral Embed bills per input token at $0.100 per million — there are no output tokens, since the response is a fixed 1024-dimension vector. Cost scales only with how much text you embed, so the levers are corpus size and how often you re-embed.
Higher dimensions improve retrieval marginally but increase vector-database storage and query cost proportionally — many models (including this one where noted) support shortening dimensions to trade a little accuracy for big storage savings.
