Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run Voxtral Small

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run Voxtral Small

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

The hardware side

Minimum card

Xeon Phi 7120P

Memory needed

14.0 GB

Fastest

139 tok/s

Voxtral Small reaches a parameter count of 24.3B. That lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. The number of cards we track that can run it: 241.

At the low end it is handled by Xeon Phi 7120P, with a memory capacity of 16 GB, running it at a compression of IQ4_XS and producing around 9.8 tokens per second.

The fastest we calculate for it is B200, generating roughly 139 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

Where it came from

Voxtral Small was published by Mistral AI, in the country recorded as France, during July 2025. The category the publisher falls under is industry.

It works in the domain of Speech, and is recorded as performing the task of audio question answering, Speech recognition (ASR), Speech-to-text, Language modeling/generation, Question answering.

Its starting point was an existing base model, Mistral Small 3. That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation mistralai.

Understanding the speeds

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range sits at 19.2 tokens per second. Clearing the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed: 192 of them.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Voxtral Small

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Read the memory figure first

The table lists every card able to hold Voxtral Small, needing around 14.0 GB at a compression of IQ4_XS. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Decide how long your conversations run

Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason a card that seemed fine stops fitting Voxtral Small.
03

Choose how far you will compress it

Compression is what makes a model fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy, reaching a compression of IQ4_XS on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

The speed ordering is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, for Voxtral Small. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 139 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

The fit column separates cards that just manage it from those with room to spare, in the case of Voxtral Small. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Following a card through to its own page shows every other model it can hold, which is the question that follows once you have settled on Voxtral Small.

Answers

Voxtral Small — common questions

Voxtral Small— who created it?

It was published by Mistral AI, based in France, an organisation categorised as industry.

Voxtral Small— when was it released?

It was published in July 2025.

Voxtral Small— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Speech, and is recorded as handling the task of audio question answering, Speech recognition (ASR), Speech-to-text, Language modeling/generation, Question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

Voxtral Small— where can I download it?

Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation mistralai. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

Voxtral Small— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 4.6 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

Voxtral Small— would two GPUs run it faster?

Capacity adds across cards; throughput does not. The number of cards already holding it on their own: 241. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

Voxtral Small— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold. The number of distinct compression levels across the cards that fit it: 4. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

Voxtral Small— how accurate are these speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars, and any of them could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use. The fastest result here: 84–223 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Voxtral Small— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is Xeon Phi 7120P, with a memory capacity of 16 GB. It runs the model at a compression of IQ4_XS using about 14.0 GB, and produces roughly 9.8 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 241.

Voxtral Small— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 139 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 192.

Voxtral Small— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 14.0 GB at a compression of IQ4_XS, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Voxtral Small— can I run it on a GPU holding 16 GB?

Yes. The card Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, holding 16 GB, runs it at a compression of IQ4_XS, using about 14.0 GB and generating roughly 48.4 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

Voxtral Small— can I run it on a GPU holding 24 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, holding 24 GB, runs it at a compression of Q6_K, using about 21.1 GB and generating roughly 33.9 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

Voxtral Small— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

Voxtral Small— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 24.3B. Table 1. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
