- R · What Makes It Special
- Mistral Small 3 (January 30, 2025), a latency-optimized 24B model released as pretrained and instruct checkpoints under Apache 2.0: with far fewer layers than rivals it tops 81% on MMLU at 150 tokens per second, and Mistral says it matches Llama 3.3 70B Instruct while running over 3x faster on the same hardware, an open alternative to GPT-4o mini. Trained without RL or synthetic data, it runs on one RTX 4090 or a 32GB Mac once quantized; Mistral's API retired it on November 30, 2025.
