Mistral 7B is a 7 billion parameter language model introduced by Mistral AI, a new company in the field of artificial intelligence. This model has garnered attention as one of the most powerful 7 billion parameter models available.
Mistral 7B is presented as a foundational model, signifying its significance as a core building block in natural language processing. It’s part of the evolving landscape of large language models.
Despite having a relatively modest size compared to some larger models, Mistral 7B boasts impressive performance across various natural language understanding and generation tasks. It excels in tasks like text summarization, text classification, text completion, and code completion.
Mistral 7B is distinct in its architectural approach. The model utilises a novel architecture, which is not entirely specified but suggests a different design philosophy compared to well-known models like GPT-3. It uses Grouped-query attention (GQA) for faster inference and Sliding Window Attention (SWA) to handle longer sequences…
