Model Overview

Description:

Mixtral 8x7B Instruct is a language model that can follow instructions, complete requests, and generate creative text formats. Mixtral 8x7B a high-quality sparse mixture of experts model (SMoE) with open weights.
This model has been optimized through supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization (DPO) for careful instruction following. On MT-Bench, it reaches a score of 8.30, making it the best open-source model, with a performance comparable to GPT3.5.
Mixtral outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks with 6x faster inference. It is the strongest open-weight model with a permissive license and the best model overall regarding cost/performance trade-offs. In particular, it matches or outperforms GPT3.5 on most standard benchmarks.
Mixtral has the following capabilities.

• It gracefully handles a context of 32k tokens.
• It handles English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
• It shows strong performance in code generation.
• It can be finetuned into an instruction-following model that achieves a score of 8.3 on MT-Bench.
