Open vision-language model for efficient local deployment, instruction following, and tool use
Ministral 3 14B by mistral is offered by 4 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.37 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is NanoGPT at $0.10 / $0.40 per 1M, about 3.7× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 6 on the Intelligence Index, with 14.4 for coding and 1.1 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.175 per 1M, that is roughly 34 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 89 tokens per second, with 1.03s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.0194, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 100,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 100,000 to 262,144, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text and Image. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
