Ministral 3 14B (release 25.12, shipped 2 December 2025) is the top of Mistral's edge tier and the strongest small open model in the lineup: a 14B dense transformer (13.5B language model + 0.4B vision encoder) under Apache 2.0, with a 256K context and native vision. Its reasoning variant posts a remarkable AIME 2025 85.0% — best-in-class for sub-20B — alongside GPQA Diamond 71.2%, MATH 90.4%, LiveCodeBench 64.6%, and MMLU 79.4%. Symmetric pricing at $0.20/$0.20. The buyer's sentence: the best cost-to-performance small open model for single-GPU and on-device reasoning, with native vision rare at this size.
