Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning-2512 · GGUF F16

Converted and evaluated by PBH Applied Systems, LLC

— Applied AI/ML Consulting · LLM Optimization & Deployment · Quantized AI Infrastructure

> 🔬 This repository is part of a production-oriented evaluation series. Every model published under pbhappliedsystems has been independently evaluated using quant_eval v7.21 — a proprietary behavioral evaluation harness developed by PBH Applied Systems. Scores measure real agent-adjacent task performance across structured output, tool dispatch, multi-turn state retention, and multi-step planning families — not perplexity or benchmark leaderboard proxies.

> 📌 This is the full-precision F16 baseline repository. The evaluated Q4\_K\_M deployment variant is published at pbhappliedsystems/ministral-3-14b-reasoning-2512-gguf-Q4-K-M. That card documents the complete F16 vs. Q4\_K\_M comparison — including the 55.7× inference speedup and the hard planning case capability regression — in full detail.

> 🧠 This is a reasoning-architecture model. Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning-2512 generates extended internal chain-of-thought traces before producing its final answer. At full F16 precision, this reasoning capability is fully expressed — and measurable. The evaluation data below documents exactly where it helps, where it creates extraction friction, and why it matters for deployment decisions.

This model is part of the PBH Applied Systems evaluated model series that supports the live AI Agent Demo. The demo lets visitors interact with production-style agent workflows powered by open-weight language models evaluated through PBH Applied Systems' quant_eval framework.

The F16 model serves a different role than the Q4_K_M deployment variant. F16 is the full-precision baseline used to measure what the model can do before quantization. quant_eval then compares the quantized model against this baseline to identify which capabilities are preserved, which degrade, and which tasks require guardrails or a higher-precision deployment.

This comparison is central to the demo. It helps determine which model belongs in which agent role:

• Reasoning models are selected for planning, analysis, and auditable decision workflows.
• Document models are selected for long-context extraction, summarization, and structured Q&A.
• Code models are selected for task completion, structured output, API scaffolding, and automation workflows.
• Quantized variants are selected when they preserve enough behavior to reduce cost, latency, and GPU requirements.
• F16 variants remain important when maximum fidelity, cleaner tool execution, or reduced quantization risk matters more than speed or cost.

The live demo shows the deployment side of that process. The F16 card documents the reference behavior. The Q4_K_M card shows what changes after compression. Together, they explain how PBH Applied Systems uses quant_eval to choose the correct LLM for the correct agent type instead of guessing from model size or leaderboard reputation.

Model Description

This repository contains the full-precision F16 GGUF of mistralai/Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning-2512, a 14-billion parameter reasoning-tuned model from Mistral AI (December 2025 release).

The F16 format preserves all original float16 weights without quantization, enabling the model's full chain-of-thought capability. In the PBH Applied Systems evaluation pipeline, this F16 run (20260209_212510) served as the baseline cache generation pass — producing the full_weight_cache.json used as the reference anchor for the subsequent Q4\_K\_M comparison run (20260209_233252). This two-pass architecture ensures that F16 and Q4\_K\_M results are measured against the identical fixture set under controlled, reproducible conditions.

For most production deployments, the Q4\_K\_M variant is the appropriate choice due to its dramatically lower VRAM requirement and 55.7× faster inference. The F16 is the right choice when the full chain-of-thought is required — for hard planning tasks, deliberative reasoning workflows, or any use case where the thinking trace itself is part of the deliverable.

Key Characteristics

• Parameters: 14B
• Architecture: Reasoning (extended chain-of-thought at full precision)
• Format: GGUF F16 (full precision)
• File size: 27.0 GB
• SHA256: 7645d01deed3415326c7c2bf8b58280e234021a91b4b3ade52b4735c976ad221
• Minimum VRAM (GPU inference): ~30 GB
• Recommended GPU tier: A100 40 GB · RTX 4090 (24 GB, with offload) · 2× A10G
• Context window: 32,768 tokens (per base model specification)
• Inference speed (eval hardware): avg 65.67 sec/case on RTX 4090

> Why 65.67 sec/case? This is the cost of full reasoning at F16. The model generates extended chain-of-thought traces before each response. The json family averaged 105.82 sec/case; the fuzz suite peaked at 176.47 sec on a single case. This is not a performance problem — it is the reasoning capability operating as designed at full precision. For comparison, the Q4\_K\_M variant averages 1.18 sec/case with the chain-of-thought substantially compressed.

PBH Applied Systems Evaluation — quant\_eval v7.21

> Evaluation conducted by PBH Applied Systems, LLC using quant_eval v7.21

> Run ID: 20260209_212510 · Fixtures: golden_oracle_fixtures_v7_21 (SHA256: 6d71a0b9147c...) · Seed: 42

> Hardware: NVIDIA RTX 4090 · Runner: full_weight_transformers (F16 only) · Total rows: 42

Note on aggregate scores: The normalized aggregate dimensions (task completion, reasoning, coherence, instruction following) are computed from the combined F16 + Q4\_K\_M comparison run and are reported on the Q4\_K\_M card. This F16 card reports per-family pass rates from the full_weight_transformers runner — the authoritative signal for understanding full-precision capability.

Per-Family Pass Rates — F16 (full_weight_transformers)

| Family | N | Pass Rate | Avg Secs | Min | Max | Notes |

|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|

| json\_multistep | 5 | 0.600 | 99.64 | 78.26 | 110.73 | 3 pass — 2× oracle\_equiv\_ok failure |

| stateful\_followup | 2 | 1.000 | 15.93 | 13.83 | 18.03 | Both turns exact match |

| toolcall\_only | 2 | 0.000 | 14.41 | 13.34 | 15.47 | Architectural — see note |

| mixed\_brief\_json | 2 | 1.000 | 12.73 | 12.36 | 13.11 | Answer line + JSON schema correct |

| toolcall | 2 | 1.000 | 22.90 | 22.87 | 22.92 | Tool parse + schema valid |

| json | 4 | n/a | 105.82 | 104.77 | 107.02 | bucket\_score avg = 10.000 |

| fuzz | 20 | n/a | 84.22 | 34.74 | 176.47 | bucket\_score avg = 10.000 |

| mcq | 5 | n/a | 4.02 | 3.97 | 4.12 | bucket\_score avg = 0.800 |

json\_multistep — Case-Level Breakdown

| Case | Difficulty | Result | Secs | Failure Signal |

|---|---|---|---:|---|

| ms\_easy\_01 | Easy | ❌ FAIL | 78.26 | oracle\_equiv\_ok=0 |

| ms\_easy\_02 | Easy | ❌ FAIL | 92.18 | oracle\_equiv\_ok=0 |

| ms\_med\_01 | Medium | ✅ PASS | 108.47 | — |

| ms\_med\_02 | Medium | ✅ PASS | 108.54 | — |

| ms\_hard\_01 | Hard | ✅ PASS | 110.73 | — |

The F16 passes the hard case. ms_hard_01 — the most demanding planning case in the fixture set — is solved correctly by the F16 model in 110.73 seconds of deliberation. The Q4\_K\_M variant fails this same case (checks\_consistent\_ok=0, oracle\_equiv\_ok=0) in 3.39 seconds. This is the clearest empirical argument for deploying F16 when planning correctness on harder cases is a requirement.

The easy case failures (ms_easy_01, ms_easy_02) are a pattern specific to the Reasoning architecture: the model's extended deliberation on simple cases sometimes leads it to over-engineer the solution, producing an oracle\_equiv\_ok failure where the Instruct variant succeeds without the reasoning overhead. The chain-of-thought is a double-edged signal — it helps on hard cases and occasionally over-complicates easy ones.

⚠️ toolcall\_only — Architectural Limitation (Both Runners)

toolcall_only fails at 0.000 on the F16 runner, and also at 0.000 on the Q4\_K\_M runner. This is not a quantization finding — it is an architectural characteristic of the Reasoning model that applies at both precision levels.

| Signal | F16 Rate | Q4\_K\_M Rate |

|---|---:|---:|

| tool\_name\_ok | 0.500 | 1.000 |

| args\_ok | 0.000 | 0.000 |

Case-level detail:

• toolonly_01 (15.47s): tool\_name\_ok=1, args\_ok=0, schema\_ok=0 — tool is identified but args extraction fails amid reasoning output
• toolonly_02 (13.34s): tool\_name\_ok=0, args\_ok=0, schema\_ok=0 — the reasoning trace fully interferes with tool name extraction

The chain-of-thought output structure is incompatible with bare schema-only tool dispatch at full precision. The toolcall family (tool call embedded within a broader response) passes at 1.000 — the reasoning traces are absorbed naturally into the response structure when there is surrounding prose scaffolding.

Practical implication: Use response-scaffolded tool calling at both precision levels. See the Q4\_K\_M card for the call_tool_scaffolded() implementation pattern.

MCQ — Backtick Wrapping Artifact

mcq_02 fails with detail=invalid_choice raw='`' at 3.97 seconds. The F16 model emits a markdown code fence delimiter as its extracted response — the reasoning trace wraps the answer in a code block before the choice letter, and the extractor captures the fence instead of the letter.

All other MCQ cases pass correctly at 3.97–4.12 sec each. This is a single-case formatting artifact, not a general MCQ capability failure. A post-processing step that strips markdown fences before choice extraction would resolve it.

| Case | Secs | Result | Detail |

|---|---:|---|---|

| mcq\_01 | 3.97 | ✅ PASS | ok |

| mcq\_02 | 3.97 | ❌ FAIL | invalid_choice raw='`' |

| mcq\_03 | 3.97 | ✅ PASS | ok |

| mcq\_04 | 4.12 | ✅ PASS | ok |

| mcq\_05 | 4.07 | ✅ PASS | ok |

Signal-Level Diagnostics (F16)

json\_multistep

| Signal | Rate | Tier |

|---|---:|---|

| schema\_ok | 1.000 | Tier-1 (gating) |

| checks\_consistent\_ok | 1.000 | Tier-1 (gating) |

| stop\_semantics\_ok | 1.000 | Tier-1 (gating) |

| oracle\_equiv\_ok | 0.600 | Tier-1 (gating) |

| final\_consistent\_ok | 0.000 | Tier-2 (tracked, non-gating) |

| final\_match\_reported | 0.000 | Tier-2 (tracked, non-gating) |

> checks\_consistent\_ok = 1.000 at F16 is a meaningful signal. The Q4\_K\_M variant drops this to 0.800. At full precision, the model's internal reasoning maintains self-consistent intermediate check states across all five cases — it is only oracle equivalence (final placement correctness) that fails on the two easy cases.

When to Deploy F16 vs. Q4\_K\_M

| Criterion | F16 (this repo) | Q4\_K\_M |

|---|---|---|

| VRAM available | ~30 GB | ~10–12 GB |

| Latency acceptable | > 60 sec/response | < 2 sec/response |

| Hard planning correctness | ✅ ms\_hard\_01 passes | ❌ ms\_hard\_01 fails |

| Chain-of-thought traces needed | ✅ Full deliberation | ❌ Compressed/suppressed |

| Bare tool dispatch | ❌ Architectural limit | ❌ Architectural limit |

| Scaffolded tool dispatch | ✅ 1.000 | ✅ 1.000 |

| Stateful multi-turn | ✅ 1.000 | ✅ 1.000 |

| Throughput priority | ❌ Low | ✅ High |

| Deployment hardware | A100 · 2× A10G | T4 · RTX 3080/4080 |

Recommended Use Cases — F16

✅ Deploy with Confidence

• Hard multi-step planning — The only variant in this pair that passes ms_hard_01. Use F16 when planning horizon difficulty is unpredictable or when hard cases must be handled correctly.
• Deliberative reasoning workflows — Use cases where the chain-of-thought trace itself is the deliverable: audit trails, decision documentation, explainable AI pipelines.
• Stateful multi-turn agents — Perfect two-turn state retention (1.000). The reasoning architecture maintains context across turns reliably at full precision.
• Hybrid brief + JSON outputs — mixed_brief_json passes at 1.000. The reasoning traces do not interfere with mixed-format output at full precision.
• Scaffolded tool-calling — toolcall passes at 1.000. Embed tool dispatch within a broader response structure.
• Structured single-step JSON — json and fuzz both achieve bucket\_score avg of 10.000, with perfect constraint adherence despite the 105-second deliberation cost.

⚠️ Use with Extraction Normalization

• MCQ and single-choice outputs — Add a post-processing step to strip markdown fences before choice extraction. One of five cases fails due to backtick wrapping; the underlying answer is present but embedded in a code block.
• Multi-step planning at easy difficulty — The easy cases (ms\_easy\_01, ms\_easy\_02) fail at F16 due to reasoning over-engineering. Use with an external validator or prefer Q4\_K\_M for easy-difficulty tasks.

❌ Not Recommended

• Bare tool-call dispatch (schema-only output) — toolcall_only fails at 0.000. This is an architectural characteristic, not a precision issue. Use scaffolded tool calling instead.
• High-throughput pipelines — At 65.67 sec/case average and up to 176 seconds for fuzz cases, F16 is not suitable for latency-sensitive or batch-at-scale workloads.

The F16 GGUF was converted from the mistralai/Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning-2512 HuggingFace snapshot using a custom-built llama.cpp conversion pipeline developed by PBH Applied Systems, without modification to model weights prior to conversion.

Two-pass evaluation architecture: The F16 evaluation run (20260209_212510) operated in cache-generation mode (skip_quant=true), producing the full_weight_cache.json that served as the reference baseline for the subsequent Q4\_K\_M comparison run (20260209_233252). This architecture ensures that F16 and Q4\_K\_M results are measured against the identical fixture set under reproducible, controlled conditions, and that the F16 results cached during the first pass are the exact same responses compared against in the second pass.
