Meet Mistral 7B, a 7.3 billion parameter language model that outperforms Meta’s Llama 2, is making waves not only for its impressive size but for its exceptional capabilities that surpass its larger counterparts. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of Mistral 7B, exploring its features, achievements, and potential applications.

A startup on the rise

Mistral AI, a Paris-based startup founded by alumni from tech giants Google’s DeepMind and Meta, burst onto the scene earlier this year with a distinctive Word Art logo and a historic $118 million seed funding round. This funding, the largest seed round in Europe’s history, has catapulted Mistral AI into the limelight.

The company’s mission is clear: to “make AI useful” for enterprises by harnessing publicly available data and contributions from customers. With the launch of Mistral 7B, the company is taking its first significant step towards fulfilling this mission.

Mistral 7B can be a game-changer

Mistral 7B is no ordinary language model. With its compact 7.3 billion parameters, it outperforms larger models like Meta’s Llama 2 13B, setting a new standard for efficiency and power. This model offers a unique combination of capabilities, excelling in English language tasks while also demonstrating impressive coding prowess. This versatility opens doors to a wide range of enterprise-centric applications.

One notable aspect of Mistral 7B is its open-source nature, released under the Apache 2.0 license. This means that anyone can fine-tune and utilize the model without restrictions, whether for local or cloud-based applications, including enterprise scenarios.

Apache 2.0 license

By using software licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, for example, end users are guaranteed a license to any patents covered by the software. Safe and strong open-source software is guaranteed to be readily available under an Apache 2.0 license.

How to use Mistral 7B

Under the Apache 2.0 license, Mistral 7B can be used without restrictions in these ways:

  • Download it and use it anywhere (including locally) with Mistral’s reference implementation
  • Deploy it on any cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), using vLLM inference server and skypilot
  • Use it on HuggingFace

Benchmarks speak louder than words

Even though Mistral 7B is just hitting the scene, it has already proven its mettle in benchmark tests. In head-to-head comparisons with open-source competition, the model consistently outperforms. It bests Llama 2 7B and 13B with ease, showcasing its prowess in various tasks.

Mistral 7B’s key strengths include its use of Grouped-query attention (GQA) for lightning-fast inference and Sliding Window Attention (SWA) to handle longer sequences without incurring significant computational costs. This innovative approach enhances its performance across the board.

Unlocking cost-performance efficiency

One intriguing aspect of Mistral 7B’s performance is its cost-effectiveness. By computing “equivalent model sizes,” we can appreciate the savings in memory and gains in throughput it offers. In reasoning, comprehension, and STEM reasoning, Mistral 7B performs equivalently to a Llama 2 model over three times its size.

This makes it an appealing choice for resource-efficient applications.

A glimpse into the future

To showcase the adaptability of Mistral 7B, the model was fine-tuned on publicly available instruction datasets from HuggingFace, proving its impressive generalization capabilities. This fine-tuned model, known as Mistral 7B Instruct, surpasses other 7B models on MT-Bench and rivals 13B chat models. This achievement hints at the model’s potential in various specialized applications.

Mistral AI looks forward to collaborating with the community to establish guardrails, ensuring responsible and moderated outputs. This commitment aligns with the broader industry trend towards ethical AI development.

In conclusion, Mistral 7B represents a remarkable leap forward in language AI models. With its compact size, open-source nature, and outstanding performance, it holds the promise of transforming how enterprises leverage AI for a wide range of applications. As Mistral AI continues to innovate, we can anticipate even greater strides in the world of artificial intelligence.
