How Mistral Medium 3.5 pricing works
Mistral Medium 3.5 is billed per token: a lower input price of $1.50 per million tokens for everything you send, and a higher output price of $7.50 per million for everything the model generates. To turn that into a real Mistral Medium 3.5 bill, multiply by your monthly request volume and average prompt/response length — the calculator above does exactly that.
Mistral Medium 3.5 does not list a separate cached-input rate, so every input token bills at $1.50 per million. If repeated context is a big part of your prompts, a model with prompt caching may end up cheaper in practice.
