Mistral AI released the mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1, a 7B instruction-tuned LLM licensed under Apache 2.0 with an 8,000 token context length.
The 3 picks above, plus these 6. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.
Served by 1 API provider; 31 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (818 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: allenai/WildBench ♥ 232 · osanseviero/mistral-super-fast ♥ 213 · allenai/ZebraLogic ♥ 95 · chansung/vid2persona ♥ 88
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 4.3 GB at INT4, 8.7 GB at FP8, 17 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.
Estimate params × bytes per param × 1.2 · how we estimate
Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2023-09-27), amber triangles are 4 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
849 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.
From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.
Everything else, folded: the full tables, every source.
Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

Ranked by source signals (HN, Lobsters, authority domains, official posts) and recency. Summaries are generated from a stored copy of the article text; every sentence cites a span of that text, and nothing is shown that failed the citation check.
arXiv links found in the model card and its tags. "Peer-reviewed" is shown only with evidence: a published venue in OpenAlex (measured) or the authors' own journal reference on arXiv (reported).
