Model Card for Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503

Building upon Mistral Small 3 (2501), Mistral Small 3.1 (2503) adds state-of-the-art vision understanding and enhances long context capabilities up to 128k tokens without compromising text performance. With 24 billion parameters, this model achieves top-tier capabilities in both text and vision tasks.
This model is an instruction-finetuned version of: Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Base-2503.

Mistral Small 3.1 can be deployed locally and is exceptionally "knowledge-dense," fitting within a single RTX 4090 or a 32GB RAM MacBook once quantized.

It is ideal for:

Fast-response conversational agents.
Low-latency function calling.
Subject matter experts via fine-tuning.
Local inference for hobbyists and organizations handling sensitive data.
Programming and math reasoning.
Long document understanding.
Visual understanding.

For enterprises requiring specialized capabilities (increased context, specific modalities, domain-specific knowledge, etc.), we will release commercial models beyond what Mistral AI contributes to the community.

Basic Instruct Template (V7-Tekken)

<s>[SYSTEM_PROMPT]<system prompt>[/SYSTEM_PROMPT][INST]<user message>[/INST]<assistant response></s>[INST]<user message>[/INST]

<system_prompt>, <user message> and <assistant response> are placeholders.

Please make sure to use mistral-common as the source of truth

Usage

The model can be used with the following frameworks;

vllm (recommended): See here

Note 1: We recommend using a relatively low temperature, such as temperature=0.15.

Note 2: Make sure to add a system prompt to the model to best tailer it for your needs. If you want to use the model as a general assistant, we recommend the following system prompt:

system_prompt = """You are Mistral Small 3.1, a Large Language Model (LLM) created by Mistral AI, a French startup headquartered in Paris.
You power an AI assistant called Le Chat.
Your knowledge base was last updated on 2023-10-01.
The current date is {today}.

When you're not sure about some information, you say that you don't have the information and don't make up anything.
If the user's question is not clear, ambiguous, or does not provide enough context for you to accurately answer the question, you do not try to answer it right away and you rather ask the user to clarify their request (e.g. "What are some good restaurants around me?" => "Where are you?" or "When is the next flight to Tokyo" => "Where do you travel from?").
You are always very attentive to dates, in particular you try to resolve dates (e.g. "yesterday" is {yesterday}) and when asked about information at specific dates, you discard information that is at another date.
You follow these instructions in all languages, and always respond to the user in the language they use or request.
Next sections describe the capabilities that you have.

# WEB BROWSING INSTRUCTIONS

You cannot perform any web search or access internet to open URLs, links etc. If it seems like the user is expecting you to do so, you clarify the situation and ask the user to copy paste the text directly in the chat.

# MULTI-MODAL INSTRUCTIONS

You have the ability to read images, but you cannot generate images. You also cannot transcribe audio files or videos.
You cannot read nor transcribe audio files or videos."""

vLLM (recommended)

We recommend using this model with the vLLM library to implement production-ready inference pipelines.

Installation

Make sure you install vLLM >= 0.8.1:

pip install vllm --upgrade

Doing so should automatically install mistral_common >= 1.5.4.

To check:

python -c "import mistral_common; print(mistral_common.__version__)"

You can also make use of a ready-to-go docker image or on the docker hub.

Server

We recommand that you use Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503 in a server/client setting.

Spin up a server:

vllm serve mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503 --tokenizer_mode mistral --config_format mistral --load_format mistral --tool-call-parser mistral --enable-auto-tool-choice --limit_mm_per_prompt 'image=10' --tensor-parallel-size 2

Note: Running Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503 on GPU requires ~55 GB of GPU RAM in bf16 or fp16.

To ping the client you can use a simple Python snippet.

import requests
import json
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

url = "http://<your-server-url>:8000/v1/chat/completions"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer token"}

            },
            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": image_url}},

    },
]

print(response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
# Determining the "best" food is highly subjective and depends on personal preferences. However, based on general popularity and recognition, here are some countries known for their cuisine:

# 1. **Italy** - Color: Light Green - City: Milan
#    - Italian cuisine is renowned worldwide for its pasta, pizza, and various regional specialties.

# 2. **France** - Color: Brown - City: Lyon
#    - French cuisine is celebrated for its sophistication, including dishes like coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and pastries like croissants and éclairs.

# 3. **Spain** - Color: Yellow - City: Bilbao
#    - Spanish cuisine offers a variety of flavors, from paella and tapas to jamón ibérico and churros.

# 4. **Greece** - Not visible on the map
#    - Greek cuisine is known for dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and baklava. Unfortunately, Greece is not visible on the provided map, so I cannot name a city.

# Since Greece is not visible on the map, I'll replace it with another country known for its good food:

# 4. **Turkey** - Color: Light Green (east part of the map) - City: Istanbul
#    - Turkish cuisine is diverse and includes dishes like kebabs, meze, and baklava.

Transformers (untested)

Transformers-compatible model weights are also uploaded (thanks a lot @cyrilvallez). However the transformers implementation was not throughly tested, but only on "vibe-checks". Hence, we can only ensure 100% correct behavior when using the original weight format with vllm (see above).
