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 Devstral 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 Devstral 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

13.8 GB

Fastest

141 tok/s

Devstral Small reaches a parameter count of 24B. 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 9.9 tokens per second.

The fastest we calculate for it is B200, generating roughly 141 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

What this model is

Devstral Small was published by Mistral AI,All Hands AI, in the country recorded as France, during May 2025. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry,Industry.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of code generation, Language modeling/generation, Instruction interpretation, System control.

Its starting point was an existing base model, Mistral Small 3.1. Most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation mistralai.

What decides the speed

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 19.4 tokens per second. Clearing the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed: 193 of them.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

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 Devstral 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

Every card here has been checked against Devstral Small, needing around 13.8 GB at a compression of IQ4_XS. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for Devstral 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

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

Ranking by tokens per second follows memory bandwidth rather than core counts, for Devstral Small. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 141 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 Devstral 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

Check the card from the other side

Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold, answering what else the hardware is good for beyond Devstral Small.

Answers

Devstral Small — common questions

Devstral 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.

Devstral Small— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 24B. 24B. 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.

Devstral Small— who created it?

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

Devstral Small— when was it released?

It was published in May 2025.

Devstral Small— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of code generation, Language modeling/generation, Instruction interpretation, System control. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

Devstral 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.

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

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part held in system memory drags the whole thing down. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 4.4 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

Devstral Small— would two GPUs run it faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. The number already able to run it alone: 241. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

Devstral 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.

Devstral 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: 85–226 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Devstral 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 13.8 GB, and produces roughly 9.9 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 241.

Devstral Small— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 141 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: 193.

Devstral Small— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 13.8 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.

Devstral 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 13.8 GB and generating roughly 49.0 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

Devstral 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 20.8 GB and generating roughly 34.4 tokens per second. The fit is tight.
