Ways to use pixtral-12b in osFoundry
Connect with your own key (BYOK)
Open the key dialog and paste your mistral-experimental API key. osFoundry discovers pixtral-12b automatically — assign it to a Maestro role (router, direct, orchestrator, or fallback) in the Pipeline tab and it is live in every chat. Your key, your provider account — no token markup.
Deploy a dedicated endpoint
pixtral-12b is open-weights — run it locally for free, or deploy a dedicated GPU endpoint in your workspace for reserved capacity with no rate limits.
Use it in a Room App
Room Apps declare AI features in their manifest, then call them with invokeAI:
import { invokeAI } from '@osfoundry/app-sdk'
// 'summarize' is an AI feature declared in your app manifest.
const result = await invokeAI('summarize', userText)
Call it from your own apps
Once a model is wired into your workspace you can host it as an API and reach it from your own services, scripts, or CI — outside osFoundry.
What hardware can run pixtral-12b
pixtral-12b runs on a single 16GB consumer GPU (~8 GB VRAM with KV-cache headroom). Full-precision inference fits on a single H100 80GB at FP16 precision (~29 GB).

Frequently asked about pixtral-12b
Is pixtral-12b free to use?
pixtral-12b is free to run locally on your own hardware. Hosted access through osFoundry is metered (input Free (local), output Free (local)). You can switch between local and hosted at any time.
Can I use pixtral-12b commercially?
Commercial use is allowed with conditions. Licence terms not specified — verify the upstream model card before commercial use. Check upstream documentation.
How much VRAM does pixtral-12b need?
Approximately 8 GB at Q4 quantisation, or 29 GB at full FP16 precision. Fits on a single 24GB consumer GPU.
Can I run pixtral-12b locally?
Yes. pixtral-12b is open-weights and runs locally on a workstation GPU. osFoundry's local runtime handles model loading, quantisation, and routing.
What is pixtral-12b best at?
pixtral-12b is well-suited to image text to text.
How do I use pixtral-12b in osFoundry?
Paste your mistral-experimental API key in the key dialog (or deploy the open weights for self-hostable models), assign pixtral-12b to a Maestro role in the Pipeline tab, then use it in chat, Room Apps via invokeAI, or your own apps.
