Ministral-3-Reasoning
serving recipe.

Floors are the minimum the vLLM recipe publishes across the whole replica, from vLLM's own runs. The control plane compares them with its own sizing from the model config.

• Tensor ParallelFits inside one node's interconnect. single_node_tp
• Multi-Node Tensor ParallelSpans nodes. multi_node_tp

• GB200 NVL4 · 4 GPUs
• H200 · 8 GPUs
• MI300X · 8 GPUs

Wingsmith runs models through NVIDIA Dynamo, so it serves on NVIDIA GPUs. Other vendors are listed as the recipe states them.

Features

• Tool callingOn by defaultMistral tool-call parser with automatic tool choice
• ReasoningOn by defaultMistral reasoning parser extracts <think>...</think> into message.reasoning
• Text-only modeOpt-inSkip loading the vision encoder for text-only workloads — frees VRAM for KV cache. Mutually exclusive with encoder_parallel.
• Encoder data parallelOpt-inRun the vision encoder in data-parallel mode — avoids TP comm overhead on the small encoder. Mutually exclusive with text_only.

1. Register the weights

   In the console, or through the API. Resolving a slug proposes an artifact and writes nothing.

   curl "http://localhost:8000/v1/artifacts/resolve?source=hf:mistralai/Ministral-3-8B-Reasoning-2512"

2. Read the draft

   The draft carries this recipe as upstream evidence: the tested flags, the precision and memory floor, the parallelism layouts, and the hardware vLLM verified, with links back to the recipe. Nothing from it is applied without you, and the draft warns when the plane's own sizing and the published floor differ by a quarter or more.

3. Create the workload

   Choose the engine, device shape and scale. The plane picks the clusters, and each cluster's operator renders the deployment as a Dynamo graph.

4. Give it an endpoint

   One model name for clients, routed by the gateway to deployments on every cluster serving it.

• How much GPU memory does Ministral-3-Reasoning need?The vLLM recipe publishes a minimum of 8 GB across the whole replica for its BF16 variant; BF16 22 GB, BF16 32 GB. That is vLLM's own measurement, not a per-GPU figure.
• Which parallelism layouts does the Ministral-3-Reasoning recipe support?Tensor Parallel and Multi-Node Tensor Parallel.
• Can Wingsmith serve Ministral-3-Reasoning?Wingsmith serves models through NVIDIA Dynamo on clusters with NVIDIA GPUs. Register mistralai/Ministral-3-8B-Reasoning-2512 and the plane attaches this vLLM recipe to the draft as evidence: its tested flags, precision and memory floor, for you to review rather than applied on your behalf.
