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.

With 24B parameters, Devstral Small lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. 241 of the cards we track can run it.

At the low end, a Xeon Phi 7120P handles it — 16 GB, at IQ4_XS, for about 9.9 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 141 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

What this model is

Devstral Small was published by Mistral AI,All Hands AI, in France, in May 2025. It comes out of industry,Industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing code generation, Language modeling/generation, Instruction interpretation, System control.

Its starting point was 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. It is published under the mistralai organisation on Hugging Face.

What decides the speed

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 19.4 tokens per second, and 193 exceed reading speed outright.

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.

  1. 01

    Read the memory figure first

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

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Choose how far you will compress it

    Compression is what makes Devstral Small fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy — IQ4_XS on the smallest card that fits. A minimum quality removes the ones that go too far.

  4. 04

    Compare tokens per second, not specifications

    Ranking by tokens per second for Devstral Small follows memory bandwidth, not core counts, which is why the B200 tops it at 141 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Read the fit column last

    The fit column separates cards that just manage Devstral Small from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.

  6. 06

    Check the card from the other side

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

Answers

Devstral Small — common questions

01

Is Devstral Small open source?

Its weights are published, so Devstral Small 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.

02

How many parameters does Devstral Small have?

Devstral Small has 24B parameters. 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.

03

Who created Devstral Small?

Devstral Small was published by Mistral AI,All Hands AI, based in France, categorised as industry,Industry.

04

When was Devstral Small released?

Devstral Small was published in May 2025.

05

What is Devstral Small used for?

Devstral Small works in Language, and is recorded as handling 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.

06

Where can I download Devstral Small?

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

07

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

Only by offloading, which is usually a false economy: the part in system memory drags the whole thing down — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 4.4 GB. Our figures for Devstral Small assume it is fully resident.

08

Would two GPUs run Devstral Small faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 241 cards already able to run Devstral Small alone, the case for pairing is weak.

09

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Devstral Small?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and Devstral Small appears at 4 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

10

How accurate are these Devstral Small speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 85–226 tok/s on the B200, could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use.

11

What GPU do I need to run Devstral Small?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Devstral Small is the Xeon Phi 7120P, with 16 GB of memory. It runs the model at IQ4_XS using about 13.8 GB, and produces roughly 9.9 tokens per second. 241 cards in total can run it.

12

How fast is Devstral Small on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a 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 193 of the cards that can run Devstral Small clear that.

13

How much VRAM does Devstral Small need?

About 13.8 GB at IQ4_XS compression, 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.

14

Can I run Devstral Small on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at IQ4_XS, using about 13.8 GB and generating roughly 49.0 tokens per second — a tight fit.

15

Can I run Devstral Small on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q6_K, using about 20.8 GB and generating roughly 34.4 tokens per second — a tight fit.
