Mistral, the developer of artificial intelligence LLM from France, has announced a price adjustment for API usage through Le Plateforme, along with adding a free usage package. Among the models with the biggest price reduction are Mistral Small and Codestral, which have been reduced by up to 80% to just 0.2 dollars per million tokens for input and 0.6 dollars per million tokens for output. Despite the price reduction, they are still more expensive than Gemini Flash by approximately 1, although their capabilities are similar. However, Mistral Small offers the option to download and use within organizations.
The free package usage is limited to 1 request per second, making it more suitable for app testing rather than serious usage.
TLDR: Mistral announces a price reduction for API usage and introduces a free usage package with limited capabilities for app testing.
