Mistral 7B

Mistral AI · 27 September 2023

Mistral AI's first model, a 7.3B dense model under Apache 2.0, beats Llama 2 13B on all benchmarks the company reports.

A 7.3B model that Mistral says matches a Llama 2 model more than 3x its size on some metrics, with no usage restrictions. The first release from a new lab, and a template for small, permissively licensed models.
