Mistral Medium 3.5 128B EAGLE

This is the Eagle model of the Mistral Medium 3.5 model to perform speculative decoding. Click here to access the mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B weights.

Mistral Medium 3.5 is our first flagship merged model. It is a dense 128B model with a 256k context window, handling instruction-following, reasoning, and coding in a single set of weights. Mistral Medium 3.5 replaces its predecessor Mistral Medium 3.1 and Magistral in Le Chat. It also replaces Devstral 2 in our coding agent Vibe. Concretely, expect better performance for instruct, reasoning and coding tasks in a new unified model in comparison with our previous released models.

Reasoning effort is configurable per request, so the same model can answer a quick chat reply or work through a complex agentic run. We trained the vision encoder from scratch to handle variable image sizes and aspect ratios.

Key Features

Mistral Medium 3.5 includes the following architectural choices:

• Dense 128B parameters.
• 256k context length.
• Multimodal input: Accepts both text and image input, with text output.
• Instruct and Reasoning functionalities with function calls (reasoning effort configurable per request).

Mistral Medium 3.5 offers the following capabilities:

• Reasoning Mode: Toggle between fast instant reply mode and reasoning mode, boosting performance with test-time compute when requested.
• Vision: Analyzes images and provides 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, and Arabic.
• System Prompt: Strong adherence and support for system prompts.
• Agentic: Best-in-class agentic capabilities with native function calling and JSON output.
• Large Context Window: Supports a 256k context window.

We release this model under a Modified MIT License: Open-source license for both commercial and non-commercial use with exceptions for companies with large revenue.

Recommended Settings

• Reasoning Effort:
  • 'none' → Do not use reasoning
  • 'high' → Use reasoning (recommended for complex prompts and agentic usage) Use reasoning_effort="high" for complex tasks and agentic coding.
• Temperature: 0.7 for reasoning_effort="high". Temp between 0.0 and 0.7 for reasoning_effort="none" depending on the task. Generally, lower means answer that are more to the point and higher allows the model to be more creative. It is a good practice to try different values in order to improve the model performance to meet your demands.

Usage

To use Mistral Medium 3.5 EAGLE, we describe the setup with the vLLM library for production-ready inference.

You can also use the EAGLE head via SGLang: See here.

Installation

Make sure to install vllm nightly:

uv pip install -U vllm \
 --torch-backend=auto \
 --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly

Doing so should automatically install mistral_common >= 1.11.1 and transformers >= 5.4.0.

To check:

python -c "import mistral_common; print(mistral_common.__version__)"
python -c "import transformers; print(transformers.__version__)"

You can also make use of a ready-to-go docker image or on the docker hub.

Serve the Model

We recommend a server/client setup:

vllm serve mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
 --tool-call-parser mistral --enable-auto-tool-choice --reasoning-parser mistral --max_num_batched_tokens 16384 --max_num_seqs 128 \
 --gpu_memory_utilization 0.8 --speculative_config '{
 "model": "mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-EAGLE",
 "num_speculative_tokens": 3,
 "method": "eagle",
 "max_model_len": "65536"
 }'

SGLang

Day-zero support ships in dedicated docker tags:

docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:dev-mistral-medium-3.5 # H100 / H200 (Hopper, CUDA 12.9)
docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:dev-cu13-mistral-medium-3.5 # B200 / B300 (Blackwell, CUDA 13.0)

Or follow the SGLang installation guide. Requires transformers >= 5.4.0.

Serve the target model with the EAGLE draft enabled:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B \
 --tp 8 --dtype bfloat16 --tool-call-parser mistral --reasoning-parser mistral \
 --speculative-algorithm EAGLE \
 --speculative-draft-model-path mistralai/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-EAGLE \
 --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4
