MistralLite Model
MistralLite is a fine-tuned Mistral-7B-v0.1 language model, with enhanced capabilities of processing long context (up to 32K tokens). By utilizing an adapted Rotary Embedding and sliding window during fine-tuning, MistralLite is able to perform significantly better on several long context retrieve and answering tasks, while keeping the simple model structure of the original model. MistralLite is useful for applications such as long context line and topic retrieval, summarization, question-answering, and etc. MistralLite can be deployed on a single AWS g5.2x instance with Sagemaker Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI) endpoint, making it suitable for applications that require high performance in resource-constrained environments. You can also serve the MistralLite model directly using TGI docker containers. Also, MistralLite supports other ways of serving like vLLM, and you can use MistralLite in Python by using the HuggingFace transformers and FlashAttention-2 library.
MistralLite is similar to Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1, and their similarities and differences are summarized below:
| Model | Fine-tuned on long contexts | Max context length | RotaryEmbedding adaptation | Sliding Window Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 | up to 8K tokens | 32K | rope_theta = 10000 | 4096 |
| MistralLite | up to 16K tokens | 32K | rope_theta = 1000000 | 16384 |

Motivation of Developing MistralLite
Since the release of Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1, the model became increasingly popular because its strong performance
on a wide range of benchmarks. But most of the benchmarks are evaluated on short context, and not much has been investigated on its performance on long context tasks.
Then We evaluated Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 against benchmarks that are specifically designed to assess the capabilities of LLMs in handling longer context.
Although the performance of the models on long context was fairly competitive on long context less than 4096 tokens,
there were some limitations on its performance on longer context. Motivated by improving its performance on longer context, we finetuned the Mistral 7B model, and produced Mistrallite. The model managed to significantly boost the performance of long context handling over Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1. The detailed long context evalutaion results are as below:

- Context is from Amazon Aurora FAQs
- Question: please tell me how does pgvector help with Generative AI and give me some examples.
- Answer from MistralLite:
pgvector is an open-source extension for PostgreSQL supported by Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition. You can use pgvector to store, search, index, and query billions of embeddings that are generated from machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models in your database, such as those from Amazon Bedrock (limited preview) or Amazon SageMaker. A vector embedding is a numerical representation that represents the semantic meaning of content such as text, images, and video. With pgvector, you can query embeddings in your Aurora PostgreSQL database to perform efficient semantic similarity searches of these data types, represented as vectors, combined with other tabular data in Aurora. This enables the use of generative AI and other AI/ML systems for new types of applications such as personalized recommendations based on similar text descriptions or images, candidate match based on interview notes, customer service next best action recommendations based on successful transcripts or chat session dialogs, and more.

How to Use MistralLite from Python Code (HuggingFace transformers)
Important - For an end-to-end example Jupyter notebook, please refer to this link.
Install the necessary packages
Requires: transformers 4.34.0 or later, flash-attn 2.3.1.post1 or later, and accelerate 0.23.0 or later.
pip install transformers==4.34.0
pip install flash-attn==2.3.1.post1 --no-build-isolation
pip install accelerate==0.23.0
You can then try the following example code
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "amazon/MistralLite"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
use_flash_attention_2=True,
device_map="auto",)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
)
prompt = "<|prompter|>What are the main challenges to support a long context for LLM?</s><|assistant|>"
sequences = pipeline(
prompt,
max_new_tokens=400,
do_sample=False,
return_full_text=False,
num_return_sequences=1,
eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)
for seq in sequences:
print(f"{seq['generated_text']}")
Important - Use the prompt template below for MistralLite:
<|prompter|>What are the main challenges to support a long context for LLM?</s><|assistant|>
How to Serve MistralLite on TGI
Important:
- For an end-to-end example Jupyter notebook using the native TGI container, please refer to this link.
- If the input context length is greater than 12K tokens, it is recommended using a custom TGI container, please refer to this link.
Start TGI server
Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0
Example Docker parameters:
docker run -d --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 443:80 -v $(pwd)/models:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0 \
--model-id amazon/MistralLite \
--max-input-length 16000 \
--max-total-tokens 16384 \
--max-batch-prefill-tokens 16384 \
--trust-remote-code
Perform Inference
Example Python code for inference with TGI (requires text_generation 0.6.1 or later):
pip install text_generation==0.6.1
from text_generation import Client
SERVER_PORT = 443
SERVER_HOST = "localhost"
SERVER_URL = f"{SERVER_HOST}:{SERVER_PORT}"
tgi_client = Client(f"http://{SERVER_URL}", timeout=60)
def invoke_tgi(prompt,
random_seed=1,
max_new_tokens=400,
print_stream=True,
assist_role=True):
if (assist_role):
prompt = f"<|prompter|>{prompt}</s><|assistant|>"
output = ""
for response in tgi_client.generate_stream(
prompt,
do_sample=False,
max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
return_full_text=False,
#temperature=None,
#truncate=None,
#seed=random_seed,
#typical_p=0.2,
):
if hasattr(response, "token"):
if not response.token.special:
snippet = response.token.text
output += snippet
if (print_stream):
print(snippet, end='', flush=True)
return output
prompt = "What are the main challenges to support a long context for LLM?"
result = invoke_tgi(prompt)
Important - When using MistralLite for inference for the first time, it may require a brief 'warm-up' period that can take 10s of seconds. However, subsequent inferences should be faster and return results in a more timely manner. This warm-up period is normal and should not affect the overall performance of the system once the initialisation period has been completed.
