ParametersThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality. | 671B | 8B |
Context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider. | 128k | 256k |
| API pricingUSD per 1M tokens · lower wins | ||
Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it. | — | $0.15 |
Output priceWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one. | — | $0.15 |
Cheapest inputLowest input rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. The cheapest endpoint may run a quantised build or a shorter context — see "Available from" on the model page. | $0.27SiliconFlow | $0.15Mistral |
Cheapest outputLowest output rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. May come from a different provider than the cheapest input. | $1.00SiliconFlow | $0.15Mistral |

SWE-Bench VerifiedCoding — Real coding tasks pulled from open-source projects — the AI has to find and fix actual bugs. A human-checked version of the original SWE-Bench. Higher is better. | 68.4% | — |
SWE-Bench MultilingualMultilingual coding — Like SWE-Bench, but the coding problems span many programming languages, not just one. Tests how broadly the AI can code. Higher is better. | 57.8% | — |
LiveCodeBenchCompetitive coding — Coding problems published so recently the AI can't have seen them in training — a contamination-free test of raw programming skill. Higher is better. | 74.9% | — |
GPQA DiamondScience — Graduate-level science questions in biology, physics, and chemistry — hard enough that subject-matter PhDs score around 65%. Higher is better. | 80.7% | — |

DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus and Ministral 3 8B-25-12 don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. Only Ministral 3 8B-25-12 has a verified first-party API price: $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.15 per million output tokens. No pay-as-you-go API rate is tracked for DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus. DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus shipped 71 days before Ministral 3 8B-25-12, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.
DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus has 671B parameters, while Ministral 3 8B-25-12 has 8B. Context windows are 128k (DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus) vs 256k (Ministral 3 8B-25-12).
