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.
Zhipu AI
GLM-4.6, released by Zhipu AI in September 2025, is a large language model with approximately 357 billion parameters from the GLM-4 family, featuring an expanded 200K token context window. It supports strong mathematical reasoning, coding, and agentic orchestration tasks. GLM-4.6 targets enterprise-ready open-source deployments under an MIT license, with availability through Zhipu AI's Z.ai platform.
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.
