Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Palmyra X4 31/100, Command R+ 31/100, Codestral-22B-v0.1 0/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Palmyra X4 on price. The score weighs inputs & features 60%, context window 40%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Codestral-22B-v0.1 and Command R+ publishes its weights (Mistral AI Non-Production License) and can be self-hosted; Palmyra X4 is proprietary.
Which is newer?
Palmyra X4 is the newest, released Oct 9, 2024. Command R+ came out Aug 30, 2024; Codestral-22B-v0.1 came out May 29, 2024. Knowledge cutoff: Command R+ Jun 1, 2024.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Nov 2, 2026.
