Mistral Small 3 is a 24 billion parameter, latency-optimized model released January 2025 for the majority of generative AI tasks requiring robust language understanding and instruction-following with minimal inference overhead. It achieves over 81 percent accuracy on MMLU and delivers around 150 tokens per second by using far fewer transformer layers than competing models, substantially reducing per-token latency. Released as an open-source model under the Apache 2.0 license, Mistral Small 3 supports chat completions, function calling, agentic workflows, structured outputs, and document processing across its 32k token context window. It is built for the large share of applications that prioritize speed and cost-efficiency over frontier-class capability, and is succeeded by Mistral Small 3.2.
