Mistral Small 3.1 24B is a multimodal model that handles text and image inputs with 128K context. It's the first model from Mistral with native vision support and delivers strong results across general tasks, coding, and multilingual work. At Q4 it needs about 18 GB VRAM — fits on a RTX 3090 or a Mac with 24 GB.
