Mistral 7B v0.3

Good fit for

People evaluating an established local text model with documented tool-call formatting.

Why consider it

The runtime catalog identifies the 7B tag as v0.3 and provides a concrete local command and API examples.

Main limitations

This is an older model, not a newest-release recommendation. Function calling needs runtime/tool integration and does not imply built-in web search. The 4.4GB download is not total memory demand.

Cost and access

Local package without a hosted subscription or per-token fee. Hardware, electricity and setup are separate. License: Apache 2.0.

Getting started

Install a compatible Ollama version, then run: ollama run mistral:7b. API access means the runtime-provided local API, not a bundled hosted service.
