# Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506
Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 is a minor update of [Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Base-2503).
Small-3.2 improves in the following categories:
- **Instruction following**: Small-3.2 is better at following precise instructions
- **Repetition errors**: Small-3.2 produces less infinite generations or repetitive answers
- **Function calling**: Small-3.2's function calling template is more robust (see [here](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-common/blob/535b4d0a0fc94674ea17db6cf8dc2079b81cbcfa/src/mistral_common/tokens/tokenizers/instruct.py#L778) and [examples](#function-calling))
In all other categories Small-3.2 should match or slightly improve compared to [Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Base-2503).

## Usage
The model can be used with the following frameworks;
- [`vllm (recommended)`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm): See [here](#vllm-recommended)
- [`transformers`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers): See [here](#transformers)
**Note 1**: We recommend using a relatively low temperature, such as `temperature=0.15`.
**Note 2**: Make sure to add a system prompt to the model to best tailer it for your needs. If you want to use the model as a general assistant, we recommend to use the one provided in the [SYSTEM_PROMPT.txt](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506/blob/main/SYSTEM_PROMPT.txt) file.
### vLLM (recommended)
We recommend using this model with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm).
#### Installation
Make sure to install [`vLLM >= 0.9.1`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/releases/tag/v0.9.1):
```
pip install vllm --upgrade
```
Doing so should automatically install [`mistral_common >= 1.6.2`](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-common/releases/tag/v1.6.2).
To check:
```
python -c "import mistral_common; print(mistral_common.__version__)"
```
You can also make use of a ready-to-go [docker image](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/Dockerfile) or on the [docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/layers/vllm/vllm-openai/latest/images/sha256-de9032a92ffea7b5c007dad80b38fd44aac11eddc31c435f8e52f3b7404bbf39).
#### Serve
We recommand that you use Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 in a server/client setting.
1. Spin up a server:
```
vllm serve mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 --tokenizer_mode mistral --config_format mistral --load_format mistral --tool-call-parser mistral --enable-auto-tool-choice --limit_mm_per_prompt 'image=10' --tensor-parallel-size 2
```
**Note:** Running Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 on GPU requires ~55 GB of GPU RAM in bf16 or fp16.
2. To ping the client you can use a simple Python snippet. See the following examples.

# In this situation, you are playing a Pokémon game where your Pikachu (Level 42) is facing a wild Pidgey (Level 17). Here are the possible actions you can take and an analysis of each:
# 1. **FIGHT**:
# - **Pros**: Pikachu is significantly higher level than the wild Pidgey, which suggests that it should be able to defeat Pidgey easily. This could be a good opportunity to gain experience points and possibly items or money.
# - **Cons**: There is always a small risk of Pikachu fainting, especially if Pidgey has a powerful move or a status effect that could hinder Pikachu. However, given the large level difference, this risk is minimal.
# 2. **BAG**:
# - **Pros**: You might have items in your bag that could help in this battle, such as Potions, Poké Balls, or Berries. Using an item could help you capture the Pidgey or heal your Pikachu if needed.
# - **Cons**: Using items might not be necessary given the level difference. It could be more efficient to just fight and defeat the Pidgey quickly.
# 3. **POKÉMON**:
# - **Pros**: You might have another Pokémon in your party that is better suited for this battle or that you want to gain experience. Switching Pokémon could also be a strategic move if you want to train a lower-level Pokémon.
# - **Cons**: Switching Pokémon might not be necessary since Pikachu is at a significant advantage. It could also waste time and potentially give Pidgey a turn to attack.
# 4. **RUN**:
# - **Pros**: Running away could save time and conserve your Pokémon's health and resources. If you are in a hurry or do not need the experience or items, running away is a safe option.
# - **Cons**: Running away means you miss out on the experience points and potential items or money that you could gain from defeating the Pidgey. It also means you do not get the chance to capture the Pidgey if you wanted to.
# ### Recommendation:
# Given the significant level advantage, the best action is likely to **FIGHT**. This will allow you to quickly defeat the Pidgey, gain experience points, and potentially earn items or money. If you are concerned about Pikachu's health, you could use an item from your **BAG** to heal it before or during the battle. Running away or switching Pokémon does not seem necessary in this situation.

### Transformers
You can also use Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 with `Transformers` !
To make the best use of our model with `Transformers` make sure to have [installed](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-common) `mistral-common >= 1.6.2` to use our tokenizer.
```bash
pip install mistral-common --upgrade
```
Then load our tokenizer along with the model and generate:

# - **Cons**: Running away means you miss out on the experience points, items, or money that you could gain from defeating Pidgey. It also might not be the most efficient use of your time if you are trying to train your Pokémon.
# ### Recommendation:
# Given the significant level advantage, the best action to take is likely **FIGHT**. This will allow you to quickly defeat Pidgey and gain experience points for Pikachu. If you are concerned about Pikachu's health, you could use the **BAG** to heal Pikachu before or during the battle. Running away or switching Pokémon does not seem necessary in this situation.
