Mistral: Mistral Small 3.2 24B

Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506, created on June 20, 2025, demonstrates a strong overall performance profile, particularly excelling in reliability and cost-efficiency. It consistently offers among the most competitive pricing, ranking in the 82nd percentile, and exhibits exceptional reliability with a perfect 100th percentile ranking, indicating minimal technical failures. While its speed is competitive, ranking in the 59th percentile, it does not consistently perform among the fastest models. Across benchmark categories, the model shows notable strengths in classification and ethical reasoning. It achieved perfect accuracy in the Ethics (Baseline) benchmark, making it the most accurate model at its price point and among models of similar speed. Email Classification also saw high accuracy at 99.0%. Coding performance is solid at 86.0% accuracy. However, its performance in Instruction Following (51.0% accuracy) and Reasoning (56.0% accuracy) suggests areas for potential improvement, as these scores are closer to the median. General Knowledge is strong at 98.5%. The model's ability to handle image and text inputs with structured outputs and function/tool calling further enhances its versatility.
