概览
Ministral 3 3B is the smallest model in Mistral AI's Ministral 3 family, released on December 2, 2025: an open-weight model that reads text 和 images, made for fast, low-cost work such as classification, extraction, translation 和 image captions. The Zurelay Ministral 3 3B API serves its instruct version through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a 131,072-token context window, at 70% below Mistral's list price.
Mistral AI released the Ministral 3 family on December 2, 2025, alongside Mistral Large 3, in three sizes: 3B, 8B 和 14B. Each size comes as a base, an instruct and a reasoning model, all with image understanding and all under the Apache 2.0 license, with the weights on Hugging Face. Ministral 3 3B pairs a 3.4B-parameter language model with a 0.4B-parameter vision encoder, and Mistral says it fits in 8GB of GPU memory at FP8. On Zurelay the model ID is ministral-3-3b, and it 每 1M 输出 token 的费用为 $0.03 per 1M input tokens and $0.03。
Mistral built Ministral 3 for edge 和 local use, 和 points the 3B model at lightweight, real-time work: image captions, text classification, translation, data extraction and short content. It handles dozens of languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Mistral says its Ministral instruct models often write an order of magnitude fewer tokens than comparable models.
On Mistral's model card the instruct model scores 56.8 on WildBench, level with Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct 和 ahead of Gemma 3 4B (49.1), 和 0.830 on MATH, ahead of Gemma 3 4B (0.759) and behind Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct (0.900). Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct also leads it on Arena Hard, 0.438 against 0.305. These are Mistral's numbers, not independent ones.
The instruct model answers directly without reasoning first, so reasoning_effort has no effect. It calls tools, several at once 和 while streaming, 和 returns JSON for json_object or json_schema in response_format. Mistral lists a 256K context window on its own API; on Zurelay a request holds up to 131,072 tokens. In our tests it wrote about 360 tokens a second and knew little about events after 2024, as small models tend to, so put the facts it needs in the prompt. You pay $0.03 per 1M input tokens and $0.03 per 1M output tokens against Mistral's list price of $0.10 and $0.10.
优势
$0.03 per 1M input tokens, for steps that run millions of times.:关于 360 tokens a second in our tests,
A 0.4B-parameter vision encoder reads photos, screenshots 和 scans next to your text, for captions 和 quick visual checks.
函数调用 和 JSON output that Mistral describes as native, for routing, extraction 和 small agent steps.
Hugging Face, small enough for 8GB / GPU memory, so what you build on Zurelay carries over to a local copy later. 上的 Apache 2.0 weights

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash APIOn Zurelay, ministral-3-3b costs $0.03 per 1M input tokens 和 $0.03 per 1M output tokens. Mistral's list price is $0.10 input 和 $0.10 output per 1M, so you save 70%. One rate applies at every prompt length, and failed requests are never billed.
Install the official openai package, set base_url to https://api.zurelay.com/v1 和 use your Zurelay API key. Then send a Chat Completions request with model set to "ministral-3-3b". Zurelay also accepts ministral-3-3b-instruct, mistralai/ministral-3-3b 和 ministral-3b. Mistral recommends a temperature of 0.1 or lower for production work.
On Zurelay a request holds up to 131,072 tokens. Mistral lists a 256K window on its own API. The model reads text 和 images 和 writes text.
It reads 张图片s: send them in image_url parts, as https links or base64 data URLs, 和 they count as input tokens. Mistral suggests images close to square, with very wide or thin ones cropped. Zurelay doesn't take PDFs, audio or video for Ministral 3 3B: a request that includes one is turned away with a clear error before anything is billed.
No. Zurelay serves the instruct model, which answers directly, so reasoning_effort has no effect 和 there are no reasoning tokens 至 pay for. Mistral also publishes a separate Ministral 3 3B Reasoning model, which Zurelay doesn't serve. For answers with thinking, use Qwen 3.8 Flash or DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
Yes. Pass tools as you would to any OpenAI model; it can call several at once, also while streaming. A tool forced by name is called, 和 tool_choice "none" works. Tool call ids must be at least 9 characters long, as the model's own 和 OpenAI's are. For JSON, send response_format with json_object or json_schema and the answer comes back as JSON.
Both read text 和 images, hold 131,072 tokens on Zurelay 和 call tools. 14B pairs a 13.5B-parameter language model with the same 0.4B vision encoder and scores higher in Mistral's tests (0.551 against 0.305 on Arena Hard, 68.5 against 56.8 on WildBench), at twice the price. 3B is faster, about 360 tokens a second against 170 in our tests, and suits simple, high-volume steps.
Its weights are open under the Apache 2.0 license, which allows commercial use 和 changes. Mistral publishes base, instruct 和 reasoning versions on Hugging Face and says the 3B fits in 8GB of GPU memory at FP8. The API is the quick way to use it without running your own hardware.
Yes. Requests for ministral-3-3b run on Mistral AI's Ministral 3 3B Instruct, 和 Zurelay doesn't swap in a different model. Only smart routing, which you turn on yourself, can answer with a close alternative when the model is down, 和 the x-zurelay-model header names the model that answered. Responses are sampled, so wording varies between runs. Zurelay is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mistral AI.
