RETIRED MODEL
675B parameters with vision. 256K context. Top-tier multilingual reasoning. $0.80/$2.40 per million tokens — a fraction of GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7.
Mistral Large 3 is no longer part of the Council AI lineup. It was superseded by Mistral Medium 3.5, which is available on every paid plan. The specs below are kept for reference.
Mistral Large 3 has been retired from Council AI. Council AI now runs Mistral Medium 3.5 in its place. Existing conversations that used it still render correctly; it can no longer be added to a new council.
Pair Mistral Large 3 with GPT-5.5 (for tool calling) and Claude Sonnet 4.6 (for coding) in a 3-model council. You get European multilingual coverage, US tool-calling reliability, and Anthropic's code quality — all synthesized into a single response. The cheap Mistral input price keeps the council's overall cost low even when one of the other two is more expensive.
Large 3 itself is a hosted API model, but Mistral has historically released open-weight versions of prior flagships. Council AI uses the hosted API for production reliability.
$0.80 per million input tokens and $2.40 per million output. Roughly 6x cheaper input than GPT-5.5 and 12x cheaper output. Council AI bundles it inside monthly plan budgets.
Mistral's web search lives in their Agents API, which is a separate orchestration layer. Council AI doesn't integrate it yet. If you need fresh data, route the same query to Gemini 3 Pro or GPT-5.5 in the same council.
Native 256K. Mistral Large 3 holds coherence across the full window better than the prior Large 2 generation.
Multilingual products (especially French/German/Spanish), price-sensitive frontier work, EU data residency requirements, or when you specifically want a non-US model in your council.
Yes — native vision input. Upload screenshots, diagrams, or charts and ask about them. Council AI handles the routing.
