Mistral AI
Mistral AI's La Plateforme API serving Mistral Medium, Large, Small and Ministral models, most of them open-weight, hosted in the EU.
Buyers who need EU hosting from the company that trains the models have few choices in this category, and Mistral is the French one. Every listed model is open-weight, under Apache 2.0 or, for Medium 3.5, a modified MIT licence, so workloads can later move to other hosts. Context is 256K throughout, and Large 3 at $0.50 / $1.50 is cheaper than Medium 3.5 at $1.50 / $7.50. Per-token prices appear only on individual model pages, not on the main pricing page.

No cheaper managed estimate matches your filters. Adjust your usage or compare with your actual contract bill.
The price difference leaves out migration costs, operating costs and any features you’d need to replace. We compare the selected model or the cheapest listed model in the chosen capability tier. Sharing a tier does not mean equal quality.
