About Ministral 3B

Mistral AI released Ministral 3B on October 1, 2024 as the most compact member of the Ministral edge family. Ministral 3B outperforms the older Mistral 7B, a model more than twice its parameter count, on most evaluation categories. Mistral AI attributes this to architectural refinements specific to the Ministral generation.

Ministral 3B ships with a context window of 128K tokens and supports function calling out of the box. That combination makes it a practical lightweight tool-dispatch agent in multi-step pipelines where a larger model would be wasteful for structured routing work.

Production use falls under the Mistral AI Commercial License.
