Ministral 3 3B Instruct

Smallest Ministral 3 instruct variant — 3B parameters, multimodalA model that can handle more than one type of input or output — typically text plus images, sometimes plus audio or video. "GPT-4 Vision" and "Llama 3.2 11B Vision" are multimodal models that accept both text and images. A text-only model is called "unimodal" but nobody uses that term; text-only is the assumed default., fits in 8GB VRAMThe memory built into a GPU. VRAM size determines what models you can load and run — a model's weights must fit in VRAM (or be cleverly swapped in and out). A 7B model in 4-bit quantization needs about 6GB of VRAM; a 70B model in 4-bit needs about 40GB; full-precision frontier models need multiple high-end GPUs. When people talk about a model "fitting" on a GPU, they mean VRAM. in FP8. Apache 2.0, edge- and smartphone-class deployment.
