The two are evenly matched.Claude 3 Haiku is better at reasoning; Mistral Large at coding.
Scores updated · 9 tests both models report · How we compare
Where each one wins
Tests won in each of the two areas where both have results. Each piece is one test, so a longer bar means more evidence; grey means the two scored within a point of each other.
Coding rests on a single test.
What it costs
Prices per million tokens, roughly 750,000 words. The bars show the cost of a million tokens read plus a million written.
Claude 3 Haiku costs 91% less for the same work.
The biggest differences
The tests each model wins by the widest margin, up to three each. Scores are out of 100.

Claude 3 Haiku and Mistral Large each win one of the two areas where both have results. Claude 3 Haiku wins reasoning; Mistral Large wins coding. Claude 3 Haiku costs 91% less.
Which is better for coding?
Mistral Large. It wins the one coding test both models report.
Which is cheaper?
Claude 3 Haiku costs $0.25 per million input tokens and $1.25 per million output tokens; Mistral Large costs $4.00 and $12.00. That makes Claude 3 Haiku about 91% cheaper for the same work.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 9 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 3 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 6 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
