Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 46/100, un contexte de 128K et un débit de 75 tok/s, Mistral Large 2 s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme Mistral AI.

Best for: Conçu pour l’auto-hébergement sur infrastructure privée, le fine-tuning et la souveraineté des données, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mistral Large 2

How much does the Mistral Large 2 API cost per 1M tokens?+

Mistral Large 2 by Mistral AI is priced at $2 per 1M input tokens and $6 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $1 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Mistral Large 2 pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Mistral Large 2's context window?+

Mistral Large 2 features a 128K tokens context window, which equals approximately 96,000 English words or ~256 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 8,192 tokens.

Can I run Mistral Large 2 locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Mistral Large 2 (123B) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Mistral AI train on data sent to the Mistral Large 2 API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Permissive Open-Weights (Apache 2.0 / MIT Commercial). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.
