Compact Mistral model for edge, latency-sensitive, and cost-efficient workloads
Ministral 3 3B by mistral is currently listed from a single provider. Its reference price is $0.10 per 1M tokens.
Artificial Analysis rates it 7.1 on the Intelligence Index, with 4.8 for coding and 1.6 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.10 per 1M, that is roughly 71 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 183 tokens per second, with 0.61s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.1297, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 256,000 tokens, with an output limit of 8,192 tokens. 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.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
