Price receipt

Partial receipt. We read Mistral's own pricing page on , and every price above is printed on it — for each one, Ministral 3 3B is the nearest model name on the page and no other model we track sits closer. What that capture does not give us is an entry for this model we can parse, so the match rests on where the numbers sit on the page rather than on a row we could read end to end. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is 48b84435ff. Check the provider's page before relying on it.

Overview

Smallest Mistral model for simple tasks. $0.10/$0.10 per 1M tokens.
