Ministral 3 14B Reasoning 2512 GGUF
The smallest model in the Ministral 3 family, Ministral 3 3B is a powerful, efficient tiny language model with vision capabilities.
This model includes different quantization levels of the reasoning post-trained version in GGUF, trained for reasoning tasks, making it ideal for math, coding and stem related use cases.
The Ministral 3 family is designed for edge deployment, capable of running on a wide range of hardware. Ministral 3 14B can even be deployed locally, capable of fitting in 32GB of VRAM in BF16, and less than 24GB of RAM/VRAM when quantized.

Key Features
Ministral 3 14B consists of two main architectural components:
- 13.5B Language Model
- 0.4B Vision Encoder
The Ministral 3 14B Reasoning model offers the following capabilities:
- Vision: Enables the model to analyze images and provide insights based on visual content, in addition to text.
- Multilingual: Supports dozens of languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic.
- System Prompt: Maintains strong adherence and support for system prompts.
- Agentic: Offers best-in-class agentic capabilities with native function calling and JSON outputting.
- Reasoning: Excels at complex, multi-step reasoning and dynamic problem-solving.
- Edge-Optimized: Delivers best-in-class performance at a small scale, deployable anywhere.
- Apache 2.0 License: Open-source license allowing usage and modification for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
- Large Context Window: Supports a 256k context window.
Recommended Settings
We recommend deploying with the following best practices:
- System Prompt: Use our provided system prompt, and append it to your custom system prompt to define a clear environment and use case, including guidance on how to effectively leverage tools in agentic systems.
- Multi-turn Traces: We highly recommend keeping the reasoning traces in context.
- Sampling Parameters: Use a temperature of 1 for most environments ; Different temperatures may be explored for different use cases - developers are encouraged to experiment with alternative settings.
- Tools: Keep the set of tools well-defined and limit their number to the minimum required for the use case - Avoiding overloading the model with an excessive number of tools.
- Vision: When deploying with vision capabilities, we recommend maintaining an aspect ratio close to 1:1 (width-to-height) for images. Avoiding the use of overly thin or wide images - crop them as needed to ensure optimal performance.
