TL:DR - AMAZING general use model. Y'all gotta try it.

Just wanna let y'all know that Magistral is worth trying. Currently running the UD Q3KXL quant from Unsloth on Ollama with Openwebui.

The model is incredible. It doesn't overthink and waste tokens unnecessarily in the reasoning chain.

The responses are focused, concise and to the point. No fluff, just tells you what you need to know.

The censorship is VERY minimal. My wife has been asking it medical-adjacent questions and it always gives you a solid answer. I am an ICU nurse by trade and am studying for advanced practice and can vouch for the advice magistral is giving is legit.

Before this, wife has been using Gemini 2.5 pro and hates the censorship and the way it talks to you like a child (let's break this down, etc).

The general knowledge in Magistral is already really good. Seems to know obscure stuff quite well.

Now, once you hook it up to a web search tool call is where this model I feel like can hit as hard as proprietary LLMs. The model really does wake up even more when hooked up to the web.

Model even supports image input. I have not tried that specifically but I loved image processing from Mistral 3.2 2506 so I expect no issues there.

Currently using with Openwebui with the recommended parameters. If you do use it with OWUI, be sure to set up the reasoning tokens in the model settings so thinking is kept separate from the model response.
