Copy link to headingAbout Ministral 14B
Ministral 14B is the 14B offering in Mistral's third-generation Ministral 3 series. Ministral 14B ships in base, instruct, and reasoning variants. The reasoning variant reaches 85% on AIME '25 in Mistral's Ministral 3 announcement.
All Ministral 14B variants include native image understanding, making Ministral 14B multimodal without requiring separate vision components. This is a key differentiator from the earlier Ministral series, which was text-only. Ministral 14B supports 40+ native languages for global deployments.
Mistral designed the Ministral 3 series for deployment spanning edge devices to enterprise workflows. All variants ship under Apache 2.0.

- Configuration: Ministral 14B ships in base, instruct, and reasoning variants, all with native image understanding. The reasoning variant reaches 85% on AIME '25 in Mistral's published Ministral 3 post.
- Zero Data Retention: AI Gateway supports Zero Data Retention for this model via direct gateway requests (BYOK is not included). To configure this, check the documentation.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an API key or OIDC token. You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.

Best for
- Unified text and image applications: Combine generation and vision in a single model
- Extended thinking capability: Use cases that benefit from the reasoning variant
- Multilingual applications: Serving diverse global regions
- Apache 2.0 for commercial products: Teams that need an Apache 2.0 license
Consider alternatives when
- Smaller parameter footprint: You need a more compact model (consider Ministral 3B or 8B)
- Server-side throughput at scale: Peak server throughput is the primary concern
