Mistral Small 3.1

Mistral Small 3.1 adds visual understanding to the Small 3 line. Its 24B model accepts text and images and increases the advertised context from 32K to 128K.

Vision and long documents in one release

The card describes image analysis, long-document understanding, function calling and multilingual text. Base and Instruct checkpoints are both available under Apache 2.0. The instruction checkpoint is fine-tuned from the matching 3.1 base model, not the January text-only base.Mistral Small 3.1 official model card

Local inference conditions

The card’s single-RTX-4090 and 32GB-Mac examples require quantized weights. It also publishes the base checkpoint for further training and an instruction checkpoint for chat use. These are different training variants; a quantized copy of either remains a format of that variant.Mistral Small 3.1 official model card
