On Azure, it's slightly cheaper than GPT-4.

Per 1000 tokens:

    GPT-4   input:  $0.01
    Mistral input:  $0.008
    GPT-4   output: $0.03
    Mistral output: $0.024

Im not sure if anyone cares about my opinion, but I think its worth mentioning that of all the models, Mixtral is IMO the best, and I do not know what Id do without it. Fantastic news, thank you.

Would you feel comfortable sharing your use case ? Also what make Mistral a better fit for your use ? Is it finetuning cost, operational cost, response times etc. ? I do not have an opportunity to explore these models in my job; hence my curiosity.

Just ask the AI where you can get laid.

If you know the answer it takes less than a couple of minutes to rank all the LLMs.

Sure Gemini and chatgpt may be better at counting potatoes, but why the hell would you want a better LLM which actively obscures the truth, just for a slightly more logical brain? Its the equivalent of hiring a sociopath. Sure his grades are good, but what about the important stuff like honesty? Sure it may sound a bit OTT but issues like this will only become more apparent as more alignment continues.

Does alignment affect ROI? I have no idea.

And if anyone cares, no Im not looking to get laid, its just the first thing that would piss off an aligned LLM.

I've tried a bunch of models both online and offline and mixtral is the first one which avtively has me reaching for it instead of Google when I'm wondering about something. I also love how well it works locally with ollama. I still sometimes need to double-check its answers and be critical of its responses. But when I want to confirm the answer I suspect, or know the gist of it but want more details, I find it inval…

Thats awesome, thank you for sharing!

Any training on internet data beyond 2022 is gonna lead to this. ChatGPT output is sprawled everywhere on the internet.

Interesting, I didn’t know they had le chat. I’ve been wanting a chatgpt competitor with mistral. Also love the fact they put “le” in front of their products

Cute, but "le chat" literally means "the cat". I presume most young Francophones who are likely to actually use Mistral will pronounce it in Franglais as "le tchatte".

Anything's better than hearing how french pronounce ChatGPT: "tchat j'ai pété" (literally means "cat, I farted" in french).

Announcing 2 new non-open source models, and they won't even release the previous mistral medium? I did not expect... well I did expect this, but I did not think they would pivot so soon.

To commemorate the change, their website appears to have changed too. Their title used to be "Mistral AI | Open-Weight models" a few days ago[0].

It is now "Mistral AI | Frontier AI in your hands." [1]

I'd be surprised if they didn't train at least partially on some GPT 4 synthetic data. But it is interesting that for example Mistral 7B Instruct v0.1 would very clearly and consistently state it was made in Paris by Mistral.AI and the v0.2 version couldn't tell you what it was or where it came from to save its life. The fine tuning for that must be very finicky.

I haven't been able to get a great answer regarding why OpenAI is consistently leading the pack. What could they possibly be doing different? I can't imagine they've invented a technique that nobody else can reach at this point
