Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Mistral Small 3.1 24B Instruct supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale is a high-compute variant of DeepSeek-V3.2 with 685 billion total parameters, made available for a limited period in December 2025. It was released without tool-calling support but demonstrated exceptional reasoning performance, achieving gold-medal results in the 2025 IMO and IOI competitions. DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale targets research and benchmarking use cases requiring maximum reasoning capability under an MIT license.
Mistral AI
Mistral Small 3.1 is a 24-billion-parameter multimodal model from Mistral AI, released in March 2025 as an update to Mistral Small 3 that added vision understanding and expanded the context window from 32K to 128K tokens. The model accepts both text and image inputs, broadening its applicability to document analysis, image-grounded reasoning, and mixed-media workflows without requiring an increase in parameter count. Released under Apache 2.0, it continued Mistral's pattern of incremental capability gains delivered in compact, practically deployable open-weight packages.
