Mistral AI has released Mistral Small 3.2, an updated version of its open-source model, Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506, building upon the earlier Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503. This update focuses on enhancing the model’s overall reliability and efficiency, particularly in handling complex instructions, minimizing repetitive outputs, and maintaining stability during function-calling scenarios. The improvements aim to refine specific behaviors such as instruction following, output stability, and function calling robustness without altering the core architecture.
A significant enhancement in Mistral Small 3.2 is its improved accuracy in executing precise instructions. Benchmark scores reflect this improvement, with the model achieving 65.33% accuracy on the Wildbench v2 instruction test, up from 55.6% for its predecessor. Performance on the challenging Arena Hard v2 test nearly doubled, increasing from 19.56% to 43.1%, demonstrating an enhanced ability to understand and execute intricate commands accurately. Internally, Mistral’s accuracy rose from 82.75% in Small 3.1 to 84.78% in Small 3.2.
Mistral Small 3.2 also addresses the issue of repetitive errors by significantly reducing instances of infinite or repetitive output, a common problem in extended conversational scenarios. Internal evaluations show a decrease in infinite generation errors by nearly half, from 2.11% in Small 3.1 to 1.29%. The updated model also demonstrates enhanced capability in calling functions, making it more suitable for automation tasks. Additionally, Mistral AI emphasizes its compliance with EU regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act, making it an appealing choice for developers in the region.
