Quantization NVFP4A16

Quantified from https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Devstral-Small-2507 (due to in-folder tokenizer). Compressed with llm-compressor.

We recommend cuda capabilities 12.0 hardware (NVIDIA Blackwell: RTX 5000 series GPU, DGX Spark, B200, ...) due to native FP4 acceleration.

Devstral Small 1.1

Devstral is an agentic LLM for software engineering tasks built under a collaboration between Mistral AI and All Hands AI 🙌. Devstral excels at using tools to explore codebases, editing multiple files and power software engineering agents. The model achieves remarkable performance on SWE-bench which positionates it as the #1 open source model on this benchmark.

It is finetuned from Mistral-Small-3.1, therefore it has a long context window of up to 128k tokens. As a coding agent, Devstral is text-only and before fine-tuning from Mistral-Small-3.1 the vision encoder was removed.

For enterprises requiring specialized capabilities (increased context, domain-specific knowledge, etc.), we will release commercial models beyond what Mistral AI contributes to the community.

Learn more about Devstral in our blog post.

Updates compared to Devstral Small 1.0:

• Improved performance, please refer to the benchmark results.
• Devstral Small 1.1 is still great when paired with OpenHands. This new version also generalizes better to other prompts and coding environments.
• Supports Mistral's function calling format.

Key Features:

• Agentic coding: Devstral is designed to excel at agentic coding tasks, making it a great choice for software engineering agents.
• lightweight: with its compact size due to quantization, Devstral NVFP4A16 is light enough to run on a single RTX 5060ti 16GB, making it an appropriate model for local deployment and on-device use.
• Apache 2.0 License: Open license allowing usage and modification for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
• Context Window: A 128k context window.
• Tokenizer: Utilizes a Tekken tokenizer with a 131k vocabulary size.

Benchmark Results (base model / no quant)

SWE-Bench

Devstral Small 1.1 achieves a score of 53.6% on SWE-Bench Verified, outperforming Devstral Small 1.0 by +6,8% and the second best state of the art model by +11.4%.

When evaluated under the same test scaffold (OpenHands, provided by All Hands AI 🙌), Devstral exceeds far larger models such as Deepseek-V3-0324 and Qwen3 232B-A22B.

Local inference Usage

We recommend to use Devstral NVFP4A16 with the [vLLM >= 0.9.1](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/releases/tag/v0.9.1 Other methods are untested

vLLM (recommended, other methods untested)

ExpandWe recommend using this model with the vLLM library to implement production-ready inference pipelines.

Installation Make sure you install vLLM >= 0.9.1:

pip install vllm --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128

Also make sure to have installed mistral_common >= 1.7.0.

pip install mistral-common --upgrade

To check:

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

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

Launch server

We recommand that you use Devstral in a server/client setting.

1. Spin up a server:

vllm serve apolloparty/Devstral-Small-2507-NVFP4A16 --tool-call-parser mistral --enable-auto-tool-choice

2. To ping the client you can use a simple Python snippet.

import requests
import json
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download


url = "http://<your-server-url>:8000/v1/chat/completions"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer token"}

    file_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id=repo_id, filename=filename)
    with open(file_path, "r") as file:
        system_prompt = file.read()
    return system_prompt

SYSTEM_PROMPT = load_system_prompt(model, "SYSTEM_PROMPT.txt")
