Mistral Medium 3.5

Mistral Medium 3.5 is Mistral's multimodal flagship on just4o.chat, served through the Vercel AI Gateway as mistral/mistral-medium-3.5. It combines frontier text reasoning with native image understanding in a single model, so you can hand it a screenshot, chart, or document image alongside your prompt and get a grounded answer back. A 256k-token context window handles long inputs comfortably, and function calling makes it suitable for agentic and tool-driven work. It is a Premium model on just4o.chat, billed at 3 premium requests per send before length multipliers, reflecting its higher provider output price of $7.50 per million tokens ($1.50 per million input). The honest trade-offs: no native web search, and as a vision-capable generalist rather than a dedicated reasoning model, it does not expose a step-by-step thinking budget the way Magistral does. For multimodal analysis, visual document work, and high-quality general assistance where image input matters, it is the model to reach for.
