Ministral 3
Ministral 3 is Mistral AI's family of small open-weight models — the 8B is a capable daily-driver that runs on a normal laptop, with a 256K context window, image input and a permissive Apache-2.0 licence (free for commercial use). Because Mistral is a European company and you run the weights yourself, nothing leaves your machine — the simplest GDPR-safe setup for a European business. The family scales from a ~3B edge model to a 14B, and a coding-focused sibling, Devstral Small 2 (24B, Apache-2.0), targets software work.
