introduce
The field of temporal large language models (LLM) has made great progress recently, with models such as GPT-3, PaLM, Anthropic's Claude and Meta LLaMA pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. Now, the Mistral AI team has open sourced a new LLM called Mistral 7B, which demonstrates significant improvements in model efficiency and performance compared to its previous counterparts.
With 7.3 billion parameters, Mistral 7B outperforms LLaMA models of similar size and up to 13B parameters in many NLP benchmarks, especially in areas such as mathematical reasoning, coding, and common sense tasks. At the same time, it is more parameter-efficient—in some benchmarks, its performance is equivalent to 3 times the size of LLAMAS.
This article will take a deep dive into what makes Mistral 7B special, its unique capabilities, how it works behind the scenes, and why its open availability marks a major milestone for the AI community.

Mistral 7B impressive performance
Mistral 7B achieves state-of-the-art results on many NLP tasks, outperforming the LLama 2 model with a similar number of parameters. Specifically:
It outperformed LLaMA 2-13B on all common sense reasoning, reading comprehension, math, and coding benchmarks evaluated by the Mistral AI team.
Its performance on some English language tasks is close to that of the larger LLaMA 1-34B model.
For benchmarks such as Mathematical Reasoning (MMLU), Common Sense QA, and Reading Comprehension, Mistral 7B performs on par with a hypothetical LLaMA 2 model that is 3 times its size. This represents a significant increase in efficiency.
