Mistral: Mistral Medium 3.1

mistralai/mistral-medium-3.1

Mistral Medium 3.1 is an updated version of Mistral Medium 3, which is a high-performance enterprise-grade language model designed to deliver frontier-level capabilities at significantly reduced operational cost. It balances state-of-the-art reasoning and multimodal performance with 8× lower cost compared to traditional large models, making it suitable for scalable deployments across professional and industrial use cases.

The model excels in domains such as coding, STEM reasoning, and enterprise adaptation. It supports hybrid, on-prem, and in-VPC deployments and is optimized for integration into custom workflows. Mistral Medium 3.1 offers competitive accuracy relative to larger models like Claude Sonnet 3.5/3.7, Llama 4 Maverick, and Command R+, while maintaining broad compatibility across cloud environments.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Pricing

List price is the headline rate per million tokens. Effective price is what you actually pay after prompt caching is applied — for repeated context, this can be 60–80% cheaper. The chart below shows the rolling effective price over the past 30 days.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
