Mistral: Mistral Medium 3
The Mistral Medium 3 is an AI model that accepts multiple input types, including text, images, and files, with a context length of up to 131072 tokens. It supports the use of tools, but does not provide structured output or reasoning capabilities. This model may be worth shortlisting for those prioritizing its ability to handle diverse inputs, as well as its support for tool integration. However, its price point is relatively high, with a cost of $2.00 per million output tokens. Additionally, its blended benchmark score of 10.6 suggests it performs adequately in a single area, but its overall standing and other capabilities are unproven.
