Ministral 3 14B

Ministral 3 14B is the largest model in the Ministral 3 family, developed by Mistral AI. It is an open-source text generation model with a 256,000-token context window, designed to handle long-form inputs and extended conversations. The model is released under an open license, making it available for local deployment and self-hosted use cases. The model is optimized for running on diverse hardware configurations, including consumer-grade local setups, which makes it suitable for developers and researchers who prefer on-device inference. Its 14 billion parameter count positions it as the largest variant in the Ministral 3 series. Common use cases include text generation, summarization, instruction following, and tasks that benefit from a large context window without requiring cloud-based infrastructure.

My experiences with the new Ministral 3 14B Reasoning 2512 Q8

45 minutes and 33K tokens of thinking about making html tetris (1 line prompt):

Also at some point it stopped using the \[think\] tags altogether and just started thinking out loud. I'll leave it running for a couple of hours and see if it eventually manages to build the HTML Tetris.

Hello everyone,

Mistral AI just released a new lineup of their Mistral and Ministral models. However, there's a bit of confusion I personally noticed when I was looking around to find the Ministral model of the highest quality.

Please check out the screenshot I attached.

On the top of the screenshot you can see the model with standard name "Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512". This model sits in their standard collection named "Ministral 3". One would think this is the one with the best quality, because that's how it usually works, but not here - check out the note below it, it says FP8. In other words, it's a half precision of what the full quality offers!

However, when you enter the collection called "Ministral 3 - Additional Checkpoints", you will find another model named "Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512-BF16" as shown on the bottom of the screenshot. When you check the note below this one, it says "Standard BF16". This is the full precision model and if you're thinking about fine-tuning the model or quantizing it, this model on the bottom of the screenshot is probably the one you should be using, otherwise your final model may suffer severe quality loss!

Enjoy, have fun.

Ministral 3 Reasoning Heretic and GGUFs

Hey folks,

Back with another series of abilitered (uncensored) models, this time Ministral 3 with Vision capability. These models lost all their refusal with minimal damage.

As bonus, this time I also quantized them instead of waiting for community.

[https://huggingface.co/collections/coder3101/ministral-3-reasoning-heretic](https://huggingface.co/collections/coder3101/ministral-3-reasoning-heretic)

Series contains:

\- Ministral 3 4B Reasoning

\- Ministral 3 8B Reasoning

\- Ministral 3 14B Reasoning

All with Q4, Q5, Q8, BF16 quantization with MMPROJ for Vision capabilities.
