Mistral · released 2025-12-02

 $0.100 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## Solar Pro 4 scores higher and costs less — but you would give something up.

**+34.5** on the capability index and **48% cheaper** ($0.052/M against $0.100/M). What you lose:

 - no image input

Capability scores do not measure context length, output ceiling or which inputs a model accepts, so a higher score does not mean a drop-in replacement.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.100 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $0.100 /M |
| Cached input | $0.010 /M |

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 7.1 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 4.8 |
| Agentic | 1.6 |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
