- R · What Makes It Special
- Ministral 3, the small dense models in Mistral's December 2, 2025 Mistral 3 release: 3B, 8B and 14B sizes, each with base, instruct and reasoning variants, image understanding and an Apache 2.0 license, built for edge and local use. Mistral says they have the best cost-to-performance ratio of any open model, with instruct versions matching comparable models while often producing an order of magnitude fewer tokens, and the 14B reasoning model scoring 85% on AIME 2025.
