How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Estimated cost to self-host

Mistral NeMo needs about 11 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 1× RTX 4060 Ti at about $94 a month.

That costs the same as roughly 2B tokens a month on Novita's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

What it costs to self-host Mistral NeMo at each precision: the memory it needs, the cheapest rental that holds it, that rental's month and the API volume it pays off at
Precision Memory Cheapest fit (32K context) Cost /mo Break-even vs API
4-bit INT4 / FP4 11 GB Nvidia logo 1× RTX 4060 Ti $94 2B tokens /mo
8-bit FP8 / INT8 19 GB Nvidia logo 2× RTX 3060 $115 2B tokens /mo
16-bit FP16 / BF16 31 GB Nvidia logo 4× RTX 3060 $230 4B tokens /mo

Estimates based on median on-demand rates for Nvidia GPUs. Memory is weights plus KV cache for one request, using FP8 KV cache where supported and FP16/BF16 otherwise. Break-even assumes a 5:1 input-to-output ratio. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. Pricing methodology.

Common questions

What is Mistral NeMo good for?

Multilingual text generation on your own hardware. Apache 2.0 weights, small enough for a single consumer GPU.

When is Mistral NeMo not a good fit?

Hosted use: Mistral retired it from its own API in July 2026. Text only, with no function calling or structured output.

What is the cheapest way to run Mistral NeMo?

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. Novita charges $0.04 in / $0.17 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 1x RTX 4060 Ti at $94 a month, which costs the same as about 2B tokens a month on that API.

Can I self-host Mistral NeMo?

Yes. The weights are Apache 2.0 licensed. At 4-bit it needs about 11 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $94 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
