Codestral 25.01 vs Reka Edge benchmark

This page compares Codestral 25.01 (Mistral) and Reka Edge (rekaai) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 16, 2026. Reka Edge wins on output price at $0.1/1M. Codestral 25.01 has the larger context window (256k tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.

Quick answer

Codestral 25.01 vs Reka Edge is a dated snapshot, not a lab score. Reka Edge is the cheaper output token. Elo is crowd preference, not an exam. Pick the column that matches the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, Codestral 25.01 or Reka Edge?
We do not have preference Elo for both models, so we do not declare an overall winner. Compare the metrics that exist.
Which is better at coding, Codestral 25.01 or Reka Edge?
SWE-bench is missing for at least one model, so we do not rank coding from a single number.
Which is cheaper to run in production?
Reka Edge output tokens are $0.1/1M versus $0.9/1M. Input prices and retry rates still move the real bill.
Which is faster, Codestral 25.01 or Reka Edge?
We do not have TTFT for both models.
Which has the larger context window?
Codestral 25.01 accepts 256k tokens versus 16k.
Can I self-host either model?
Neither model is marked open-weights here. You are comparing hosted APIs.
Are these scores from CompareLLM’s own evals?
No. V1 aggregates public leaderboards (and optional first-party latency pings). Each cell names its source and date. Read /methodology.
What does preference Elo mean on this page?
Preference Elo is a crowd vote from LMArena / Arena. People see two hidden answers and pick the one they like more. The model that wins more often gets a higher Elo. That means people preferred it — not that it passed a school test. It is not SWE-bench, not accuracy, and not a number we invent. Codestral 25.01 and Reka Edge Elo cells are dated snapshots from the named source — we do not compute Arena ourselves.
