How Mistral tokenization works
Modern Mistral models use the Tekken tokenizer, a tiktoken-based BPE design; this page estimates counts without downloading the full tokenizer.
Mistral prices sit well below the premium OpenAI and Anthropic tiers, which makes it a frequent target for cost-driven migrations; compare the same prompt across providers on the main analyzer.
Context windows in the catalog range around 128,000 to 131,000 tokens, roughly 100,000 English words.
