Where it fits

  • A mid-range option — $0.30 in / $0.90 out per 1M with a 256K-token context.

Watch for

  • Priced from OpenRouter's routed market, not a first-party list price — availability and rate can shift without notice.
  • Text-only — no image, audio, or file input.

These notes are derived from price, context and modality — structural facts, not measured quality. Measured cost-to-finish-a-task lives on the real-cost index.

How to read Codestral 2508's pricing

Two numbers decide most of the bill: $0.30/1M for input (everything you send — prompt, context, attachments) and $0.90/1M for output (everything it generates, including hidden reasoning tokens). Output is priced 3.0× the input rate here, so the shape of your workload — how much it reads versus writes — matters as much as the headline figure. This row is OpenRouter's routed market price; it can move as providers and routing change.
