What Mistral is

Model Card for Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 Encode and Decode with mistralcommon Inference with mistralinference Inference with hugging face transformers [!TIP] PRs to correct the transformers tokenizer so that it gives 1-to-1 the same results as the mistralcommon reference implementation are very welcome! The Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 Large Language Model (LLM) is an instruct fine-tuned version of the Mistral-7B-v0.2. Mistral-7B-v0.2 has the following changes compared to Mistral-7B-v0.1 - 32k context window (vs 8k context in v0.1) - Rope-theta = 1e6 - No Sliding-Window Attention For full details of this model please read our paper and release blog post. Instruction format In order to leverage instruction fine-tuning, your prompt should be surrounded by [INST] and [/INST] tokens. The very first instruction should begin with a begin of sentence id. The next instructions should not. The assistant generation will be ended by the end-of-sentence token id. E.g. This format is available as a chat template via the applychattemplate() method: Troubleshooting - If you see the following error: Installing transformers from source should solve the issue pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers This should not be required after transformers-v4.33.4. Limitations The Mistral 7B Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance. It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys mistral for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (mistral below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"mistral","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
