About Mistral Small 3
Mistral Small 3 is a 24B-parameter, latency-optimized model that Mistral released on January 30, 2025, as both pretrained and instruction-tuned open-weight checkpoints. Mistral aims it at fast conversational assistants, low-latency function calling, fine-tuning for domain specialists, and local inference; once quantized, it can run on a single RTX 4090 or a MacBook with 32GB of RAM.
