You are quoting the discount pricing. It is 50% off for the next two weeks. The blog post has the real pricing up front in the card on the right side: https://mistral.ai/news/mistral-large-4/

After that, it will be much closer to GLM 5.3, but you can also get 5.3 in their API! I dont see people really talking about that.

I still need to evaluate it for my own workloads, but if you trust the benchmarks, seems about on par in quality vs GLM 5.3 Flash

That is the promotional price, after which it doubles :(
