Mistral-Small-Instruct CTranslate2 Model

This repository contains a CTranslate2 version of the Mistral-Small-Instruct model. The conversion process involved AWQ quantization followed by CTranslate2 format conversion.

Quantization Parameters

The following AWQ parameters were used: zero_point=true q_group_size=128 w_bit=4 version=gemv

Quantization Process

The quantization was performed using the AutoAWQ library. AutoAWQ supports two quantization approaches:

1. Without calibration data:

   • Quick process (~few minutes)
   • Uses standard quantization schema
   • Suitable for general use cases

2. With calibration data:

   • Longer process (3-4 hours on RTX 4090)
   • Preserves full precision for task-specific weights
   • Slightly better performance for targeted tasks

Calibration Details

This model was quantized with calibration data. Specifically, the cosmopedia-100k dataset was used, which is good for overall QA and instruction-following.

Key parameters:

• max_calib_seq_len: 8192 (enables long-form responses)
• text_token_length: 2048 (minimum input token length during quantization)

While these parameters don't fundamentally alter the model's architecture, they fine-tune its behavior for specific input-output length patterns and topic domains.

Requirements

torch 2.2.2 ctranslate2 4.4.0

• NOTE: The soon-to-be-released ctranslate2 4.5.0 will support torch greater than version 2.2.2. These instructions will be updated when that occurs.
