## AI overview

Mistral introduces Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B, compact language models designed for on-device and edge use cases. The models support up to 128k context, with Ministral 8B adding interleaved sliding-window attention for faster, more memory-efficient inference. They target privacy-first, compute-efficient, low-latency applications such as translation, smart assistants, analytics, autonomous robotics, and agentic workflows.
