This is a Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512 fine-tune, produced through a slightly modified version of P-E-W's Heretic (v1.1.0) abliteration engine merged with the Magnitude-Preserving Orthogonal Ablation PR.
Note: This heretic model is highly uncensored; thus use it with extreme caution and care. Requires Transformers v5 to interface.

Degree of Heretication
The Heresy Index weighs the resulting model's corruption by the process (KL Divergence) and its abolition of doctrine (Refusals) for a final verdict in classification.
| Index Entry | Classification | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
 | Absolute Heresy | Less than 10/100 Refusals and 0.10 KL Divergence |
 | Tainted Heresy | Around 25-11/100 Refusals and/or -0.20-0.11 KL Divergence |
 | Impotent Heresy | Anything above 25/100 Refusals and 0.21 KL Divergence |
Note: This is an arbitrary classification inspired by Warhammer 40K, having no tangible indication towards the model's performance.
Ministral 3 14B Instruct 2512 BF16
The largest model in the Ministral 3 family, Ministral 3 14B offers frontier capabilities and performance comparable to its larger Mistral Small 3.2 24B counterpart. A powerful and efficient language model with vision capabilities.
This model is the instruct post-trained version, fine-tuned for instruction tasks, making it ideal for chat and instruction based use cases.
The Ministral 3 family is designed for edge deployment, capable of running on a wide range of hardware. Ministral 3 14B can even be deployed locally, capable of fitting in 32GB of VRAM in BF16, and less than 24GB of RAM/VRAM when quantized.
We provide a no-loss FP8 version here, you can find other formats and quantizations in the Ministral 3 - Additional Checkpoints collection.
Key Features
Ministral 3 14B consists of two main architectural components:
- 13.5B Language Model
- 0.4B Vision Encoder
The Ministral 3 14B Instruct model offers the following capabilities:
- Vision: Enables the model to analyze images and provide insights based on visual content, in addition to text.
- Multilingual: Supports dozens of languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic.
- System Prompt: Maintains strong adherence and support for system prompts.
- Agentic: Offers best-in-class agentic capabilities with native function calling and JSON outputting.
- Edge-Optimized: Delivers best-in-class performance at a small scale, deployable anywhere.
- Apache 2.0 License: Open-source license allowing usage and modification for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
- Large Context Window: Supports a 256k context window.
