How to Access Ministral 3 models with an API

Ministral 3 is a family of open-weight, reasoning-optimized AI models available in 3B and 14B variants, designed for efficient reasoning and long-context processing, supporting both text and image inputs. Released under an Apache 2.0 license, these models can be integrated into applications via Clarifai’s OpenAI-compatible API, offering a practical foundation for building advanced AI systems. The 14B model is optimized for complex reasoning tasks, while the 3B variant is suited for cost-sensitive deployments. Both models support a context window of up to 256K tokens, making them suitable for applications requiring long-context understanding and reliable structured outputs. They excel in applications needing strong reasoning, such as AI agents, technical workflows, and multimodal reasoning, and can be tested interactively through Clarifai’s Playground or integrated directly into applications.
