Modal Labs is proud to offer Day 0 support for running these models on Modal.\n\nModal enables developers to instantly deploy and scale Mistral 3 models without orchestrating compute infrastructure. Beyond a great DevEx and abundant GPU capacity, Modal also offers cutting-edge features like GPU memory snapshotting that can reduce median cold start time for some of these models by almost 10x, from almost two minutes to just ten seconds.\n\nAbout Mistral 3.\n\nMistral 3 is the newest frontier open model family from Mistral. It is a suite of multimodal models with strong multilingual support, and it is available in multiple sizes and capabilities for max flexibility.\n\nThis blog post focuses on Ministral 3, whose size is well-suited for Modal's serverless infrastructure. Ministral 3 is the small version of the Mistral 3 family of models and is available in 3B, 8B, and 14B sizes. It performs competitively with the Qwen 3-VL model series on benchmarks. This makes Ministral 3 well-suited for companies that are seeking a balance of intelligence and compute efficiency.\n\nSee the example text for details on deployment with modal deploy.\n\nHow it works.\n\nThe basic example above takes...",
