Mistral, a French AI startup, just unveiled Mistral 3, a new family of ten open-weight models that includes its flagship Large 3 and nine smaller versions intended to operate on consumer cloud, laptops, drones, and robotics.

The specifics:

Large 3 has multimodal and multilingual capabilities and is competitive with non-reasoning models such as Qwen3, Kimi-2, and DeepSeek V3.1.

Three sizes (3B, 8B, and 14B) of base, teach, and reasoning variations with vision capabilities and Apache 2.0 licensing are available in the Ministral 3 portfolio.

Even without internet, the smallest Ministral variants can be used on consumer hardware, such as laptops and phones.

Mistral's new flagship still lags behind industry competitors in intelligence, speed, and cost, but it still leads the way in Europe's AI model and open-source presence. The Ministral sizes, which offer alternatives for a variety of use cases and devices to utilize, can be the more competitive versions.
