🇫🇷 Mistral AI · Ministral 3
Overview
Mistral: Ministral 3 8B 2512 is a large language model API from Mistral AI, part of its Ministral 3 model family. At $0.150 per million input tokens and $0.150 per million output tokens, it sits in the budget tier — among the cheaper options for high-throughput or cost-sensitive workloads. A large 262K-token context window (≈393 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. Beyond plain text it also accepts Image input, so it can be applied to multimodal tasks rather than text alone. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 9 (F grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
