Mistral: Mistral Small 3.1 24BAuto-discovered from OpenRouter (mistralai/mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct). Preview until a second source matches.
thinking_budgetReasoning models scale test-time compute by generating hidden chain-of-thought (CoT) tokens. These tokens are billed at standard output rates and directly expand latency (TTFT) in exchange for higher GPQA Diamond and SWE-bench Verified problem resolve rates.
