About

Mistral Large 3 2512 is the December 2025 checkpoint of Mistral's flagship model, released December 1, 2025. It handles text and images, calls tools, and produces structured output, with a 262K token context window. Pricing is $0.50 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens, with cache reads at $0.05.

Third-party trackers place it around 9.3 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and 20.1 on the Coding Index in 2026, solidly in the second tier of closed flagships. It is API-only with closed weights, positioned as Mistral's production default for European customers who need a general-purpose model with predictable pricing.
