Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.
Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

How much to trust these numbers
Public Preview Open (v26.10). Mistral's API pricing page displayed list rates on October 20, matching the catalog's date-level transition after the two-week launch offer. Batch and Priority use the same date boundary; the exact cutoff time is unpublished.
Mistral's official model card identifies the public-preview model ID `mistral-large-4` and 1M-token context. The live API pricing page, checked through its Standard, Batch, and Priority options on 2026-10-20, displays the published list rates. Mistral's October 6 changelog says the launch offer is 50% off for two weeks but does not publish an exact cutoff time; the catalog uses October 20 as the date-level boundary, 14 days after the release date. The full Azure Retail Prices feed checked 2026-10-20 has no Mistral Large 4 meter, so no Foundry per-token rate is inferred.
Same-model deployment markup
How much more Microsoft Foundry charges for this exact model, over this Direct rate.
