Notes from the sources
Mistral Large 4
Standard
Standard USD rates from the API pricing table. The model card lists a 1M context window and Public Preview status, dated 6 October 2026. The changelog's launch note said 50% off for two weeks from that date; the pricing page on the check date shows the rates recorded here. Max output and a modality list were not in the text extracted from those pages. The card describes the model as multimodal with a vision encoder.
Muse Spark 1.3
Standard
Standard-mode rate. A Contributor mode (muse-spark-1.3-contributor) is priced at $0.10 input, $0.002 cached input, and $0.20 output per 1M tokens in exchange for Meta using the content for training. That Contributor rate is not the headline price. Meta notes audio input on 1.3 is not fully supported. A release day was not on the pages checked.
