Caching

unverified

cached input $0.05 per 1M, printed per model on docs.mistral.ai/inference/pricing — the third Mistral pricing page, added to this row's sources on 2026-09-03. It is the −90% discount the other two pages describe only in prose

window stated on the model's own page; max output not stated

cached input bills at 10% of input in 64-token blocks, so a prompt under 64 tokens never hits; a prompt_cache_key raises the chance of a hit but does not guarantee one. Whether caching applies without the key, and the TTL, are not stated

What this has cost, week by week

Output price at each refresh since 2026-07-30. A vendor change is the provider changing its price. Our correction means this board changed what it prints and the provider's charge did not move — the two are never merged, because publishing the second as the first would be a price rise that never happened.
