Mistral Small 3 is out - Apache 2.0 licensed and it claims equivalent performance to Llama 3.3 70B and Qwen 2.5 32B (two of my favourite models for running on a laptop) but with faster performance
My notes, including running with LLM via both their API and Ollama https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/30/mistral-small-3/
