Ministral 3 14B
Analysis Summary
Ministral 3 14B is the largest model in Mistral's Ministral 3 series, priced at $0.20 per million tokens. Its intelligence index of 11.1 and coding index of 14.4 place it above the 8B variant but well below Mistral Large 3. MMLU Pro of 69.3% and GPQA of 57.2% reflect competent general reasoning, and livecodebench at 35.1% suggests usable but not strong coding performance.
For businesses, this model is a reasonable middle ground for moderate-complexity tasks: content drafting, basic code generation, structured data extraction, and FAQ automation. Its agentic index of 15.9 and low terminal bench score mean it is not suited for complex agent workflows, and its instruction-following scores are modest.
At $0.20/1M tokens it is very affordable, and for teams that need more capability than the 8B but cannot justify the step up to Mistral Large 3, it offers a practical compromise. However, the capability gap between this and Mistral Large 3 is meaningful enough that teams with any serious reasoning or coding requirements should consider the larger model.
