Mixtral 8x22B sets new benchmark for open models
Mistral AI has released Mixtral 8x22B, which sets a new benchmark for open source models in performance and efficiency. The model boasts robust multilingual capabilities and superior mathematical and coding prowess.
Mixtral 8x22B operates as a Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) model, utilising just 39 billion of its 141 billion parameters when active.
Beyond its efficiency, the Mixtral 8x22B boasts fluency in multiple major languages including English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Its adeptness extends into technical domains with strong mathematical and coding capabilities. Notably, the model supports native function calling paired with a ‘constrained output mode,’ facilitating large-scale application development and tech upgrades.
Mixtral 8x22B Instruct is out. It significantly outperforms existing open models, and only uses 39B active parameters (making it significantly faster than 70B models during inference). 1/n pic.twitter.com/EbDLMHcBOq— Guillaume Lample (@GuillaumeLample) April 17, 2024
With a substantial 64K tokens context window, Mixtral 8x22B ensures precise information recall from voluminous documents, further appealing to enterprise-level utilisation where handling extensive data sets is routine.
In line with fostering a collaborative and innovative AI research environment, Mistral AI has released Mixtral 8x22B under the Apache 2.0 license. This highly permissive open-source license ensures no-restriction usage and enables widespread adoption.
Statistically, Mixtral 8x22B outclasses many existing models. In head-to-head comparisons on standard industry benchmarks – ranging from common sense, reasoning, to subject-specific knowledge – Mistral’s new innovation excels. Figures released by Mistral AI illustrate that Mixtral 8x22B significantly outperforms LLaMA 2 70B model in varied linguistic contexts across critical reasoning and knowledge benchmarks:
Furthermore, in the arenas of coding and maths, Mixtral continues its dominance among open models. Updated results show an impressive performance improvement in mathematical benchmarks, following the release of an instructed version of the model:
Prospective users and developers are urged to explore Mixtral 8x22B on La Plateforme, Mistral AI’s interactive platform. Here, they can engage directly with the model.
In an era where AI’s role is ever-expanding, Mixtral 8x22B’s blend of high performance, efficiency, and open accessibility marks a significant milestone in the democratisation of advanced AI tools.
