Ministral 3 8B Reasoning 2512 is a balanced midsize model in the Ministral 3 family, delivering strong multimodal reasoning capabilities within an efficient footprint. It combines an 8.4B-parameter language model with a 0.4B vision encoder, enabling it to process both text and images for advanced reasoning tasks. This version is specifically post-trained for reasoning, making it well-suited for math, coding, and STEM applications requiring multi-step logic and problem-solving. Despite its reasoning-focused training, the model remains edge-optimized and can run locally on a single 24GB GPU in BF16, or under 12GB when quantized. ...
