Llama 3.2 Vision 11b vs Mistral Small 3.1 24B: Overview

Llama 3.2 Vision 11b

Llama 3.2 Vision 11B, released by Meta on September 25, 2024, is the first mid-sized model in the Llama family with vision capabilities, supporting both text and image inputs with text-only outputs. It contains around 11 billion parameters (~10.6B) and features a 128,000-token context window, making it suitable for multimodal reasoning over long documents and image-text tasks. The model was trained on ~6 billion image–text pairs and has a knowledge cutoff of December 2023.

The model is available in a base and an instruction-tuned (“Vision-Instruct”) version, optimized for tasks like captioning, visual question answering, and image reasoning. It leverages Group-Query Attention (GQA) for improved inference efficiency and scalability. While text tasks officially support multiple languages (English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, Thai), multimodal (image+text) tasks are supported primarily in English. Llama 3.2 Vision 11B is accessible through Hugging Face, Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, NVIDIA NIM, and OCI, making it a widely deployable open-weight multimodal foundation model.

Mistral Small 3.1 24B

Mistral Small 3.1 24B, released on March 17, 2025, is an open-weight multimodal model from Mistral AI, distributed under the Apache-2.0 license. With around 24B parameters and a 128K token context window, it is available in both base and instruction-tuned (“Instruct”) variants. The model introduces vision support alongside text, enabling tasks like multimodal reasoning, captioning, and image-based Q&A.

It is multilingual, supporting many languages, and is optimized for fast responses, function calling, structured dialogue, and long-context reasoning. Despite its size, the model can be run locally in quantized formats, fitting on machines with ~32GB RAM, making it accessible to developers outside large cloud setups. However, the output length is smaller than the 128K input window, meaning long generations may require chaining. In addition, using full vision features or the maximum context window significantly increases compute costs, and performance on highly complex reasoning or enterprise-scale tasks still trails larger proprietary frontier models.
