Ministral 3 14B is a dense model with 14B parameters. That figure covers a 13.5B language model and a 0.4B vision encoder. Mistral AI lists a context window of 256K tokens. The model accepts text and image input. The weights are released under Apache 2.0, which allows commercial use. The official weights on Hugging Face take about 15.7 GB in FP8. Running the model needs at least that much memory across GPUs and system RAM, plus room for the context cache; quantized versions need less.
