Central parameters

Description: Mistral Small 3.1 24B is a medium-sized, high-performance multilingual and multimodal model from Mistral, designed for conversational agents and virtual assistants. It supports a wide range of European languages, is optimized for both speed and quality, and can process both text and image input. Images can be provided as URLs or base64-encoded strings, allowing the model to analyze and respond to visual content in addition to text. This model is particularly effective for applications requiring fast and reliable chat completions, making it suitable for real-time interactions in various domains. The model supports advanced capabilities like streaming and tool calling, enhancing its usability in interactive applications.

Images will add to the context window, which is 128k tokens for this model. Images are counted as input tokens, so including images in your requests will increase the total input token count. Token billing is based on the total number of tokens processed, including both input and output tokens.
