Hello followers! Today, we’re diving into the exciting world of AI with a fresh new breakthrough that’s shaking up the scene. Grab your tech gear, because this one’s a game-changer.

French startup Mistral has launched a nifty new AI model called Mistral Medium 3. It’s designed to deliver top-notch performance without breaking the bank. Priced at just $0.40 per million input tokens and $20.80 per million output tokens, this model offers incredible value.

What’s impressive? Mistral claims it can outperform 90% of Anthropic’s more expensive Claude Sonnet 3.7 model on various benchmarks, all while being budget-friendly. It’s also surpassing recent popular models like Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick and Cohere’s Command A in key performance tests.

Tokens, by the way, are the raw data bits these models crunch, roughly equivalent to about 750,000 words—more than the entire novel ‘War and Peace’!

Ready to deploy? Mistral Medium 3 is versatile, working on any cloud or even on self-hosted setups with four GPUs or more. It’s cheaper than many competitors, including DeepSeek v3, whether used via API or in self-deployed environments.

The model is especially suited for coding, STEM tasks, and multimodal understanding. Companies in finance, energy, and healthcare are already beta testing it for customer service, automating workflows, and analyzing complex data. Plus, it’s available through Mistral’s API and on Amazon’s Sagemaker platform starting today. Soon, it’ll land on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud too.

Following its recent launches, Mistral hints at even larger models on the horizon. The launch of Mistral Medium 3 is a huge step forward in making powerful AI accessible and affordable.
