Model Card for Mixtral-8x7B
The Mixtral-8x7B Large Language Model (LLM) is a pretrained generative Sparse Mixture of Experts. The Mixtral-8x7B outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks we tested.
For full details of this model please read our release blog post.
Instruction format
This format must be strictly respected, otherwise the model will generate sub-optimal outputs.
The template used to build a prompt for the Instruct model is defined as follows:
<s> [INST] Instruction [/INST] Model answer</s> [INST] Follow-up instruction [/INST]
Note that <s> and </s> are special tokens for beginning of string (BOS) and end of string (EOS) while [INST] and [/INST] are regular strings.
As reference, here is the pseudo-code used to tokenize instructions during fine-tuning:
def tokenize(text):
return tok.encode(text, add_special_tokens=False)
[BOS_ID] +
tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_1) + tokenize("[/INST]") +
tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_1) + [EOS_ID] +
…
tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_N) + tokenize("[/INST]") +
tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_N) + [EOS_ID]
In the pseudo-code above, note that the tokenize method should not add a BOS or EOS token automatically, but should add a prefix space.
