About Ministral 3B
Mistral AI introduced two state-of-the-art models for on-device computing and edge use cases, named "les Ministraux": Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B. These models set a new frontier in knowledge, commonsense reasoning, function-calling, and efficiency in the sub-10B category. They can be used or tuned for various applications, from orchestrating agentic workflows to creating specialist task workers. Both models support up to 128k context length (currently 32k on vLLM), and Ministral 8B features a special interleaved sliding-window attention pattern for faster and memory-efficient inference. These models were built to provide a compute-efficient and low-latency solution for scenarios such as on-device translation, internet-less smart assistants, local analytics, and autonomous robotics. Used in conjunction with larger language models like Mistral Large, les Ministraux also serve as efficient intermediaries for function-calling in multi-step agentic workflows.

Ministral 8B
Mistral AI has introduced two advanced models for on-device computing and edge applications, named "les Ministraux": Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B. These models excel in knowledge, commonsense reasoning, function-calling, and efficiency within the sub-10B parameter range. They support up to 128k context length and are designed for various applications, including on-device translation, offline smart assistants, local analytics, and autonomous robotics. Ministral 8B features an interleaved sliding-window attention pattern for faster and more memory-efficient inference. Both models can function as intermediaries in multi-step agentic workflows, handling tasks like input parsing, task routing, and API calls based on user intent with low latency and cost. Benchmark evaluations indicate that les Ministraux consistently outperforms comparable models across multiple tasks. As of October 16, 2024, both models are available, with Ministral 8B priced at $0.1 per million tokens.

Mistral NeMo
Mistral NeMo, our new best small model. A state-of-the-art 12B model with 128k context length, and released under the Apache 2.0 license. Mistral NeMo is a 12B model built in collaboration with NVIDIA. Mistral NeMo offers a large context window of up to 128k tokens. Its reasoning, world knowledge, and coding accuracy are state-of-the-art in its size category. As it relies on standard architecture, Mistral NeMo is easy to use and a drop-in replacement in any system using Mistral 7B. We have released pre-trained base and instruction-tuned checkpoints under the Apache 2.0 license to promote adoption for researchers and enterprises. Mistral NeMo was trained with quantization awareness, enabling FP8 inference without any performance loss. The model is designed for global, multilingual applications. It is trained on function calling and has a large context window. Compared to Mistral 7B, it is much better at following precise instructions, reasoning, and handling multi-turn conversations.
