Where it's used

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).

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. Running the Q5_K_M.gguf quantization on an M1 MacBook via WasmEdge achieves approximately 20.71 tokens per second, which is 4x faster than human typing speeds. The model performs on par with 13B llama2 models for generating prose, summarizing documents, and writing code.written, reviewed, cited

Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is a 7.3 billion parameter instruction-tuned model released on September 27, 2023, under an Apache 2.0 license. It requires 15.91 GB VRAM for 1,024 tokens or 16.83 GB VRAM for 8,192 tokens, running on hardware like a 1x RTX 4090. The model utilizes Grouped-Query Attention and Sliding-Window Attention to handle 8K context lengths efficiently for conversational tasks.written, reviewed, cited
