Mistral 7B

Available · Language · Milestone

Mistral 7B is the first open model from Mistral AI: a 7.3-billion-parameter language model released on 27 September 2023 with open weights under Apache 2.0, together with a chat fine-tune, Mistral 7B Instruct. Mistral AI highlighted grouped-query attention and sliding window attention; the weights stay on Hugging Face after the model's retirement from Mistral's platform in March 2025.
