Mistral 7B: A 7.3 billion parameter large language model (LLM) that outperforms Meta's Llama 2 13B across all benchmarks, released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license.

Mistral 7B is a high-performance, 7.3 billion parameter LLM from Mistral AI: it sets a new standard for efficiency and capability at its size. The model leverages two key architectural innovations, Grouped-query Attention (GQA) for faster inference and Sliding Window Attention (SWA) for managing longer sequences at a lower cost. Benchmarks confirm it surpasses the larger Llama 2 13B model on all metrics and approaches CodeLlama 7B performance on code tasks. Released openly under the Apache 2.0 license, this technology is built for unrestricted use and easy fine-tuning across diverse applications.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Sistema Agéntico – Experto Wi-Fi](https://medellin.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_AOo7EbsKuT0)

Presentaremos una arquitectura de inteligencia artificial agéntica, que convierte un modelo de lenguaje pequeño (Mistral 7B) en un agente experto en Wi-Fi. El objetivo es brindar respuestas técnicas precisas en contextos reales de red, con baja latencia y sin depender de modelos grandes en la nube. La solución se basa en destilación agéntica, transfiriendo el conocimiento desde un modelo de gran capacidad (Gemini 2.5) hacia un modelo más eficiente que opera on-premise, habilitado para razonamiento paso a paso (Chain of Thought - CoT) y validado con expertos humanos y herramientas automáticas como RagaAI. Durante la presentación mostraremos el flujo completo de entrenamiento, despliegue en vLLM, integración vía API y ejemplos reales de preguntas respondidas por el agente.

### [Learnings from fine-tuning with synthetic data](https://london.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_EjlC8_qtxz4)

Fine-tuning an open source model such as Mistral 7B for a specific use case can bring remarkable accuracy, cost and latency improvements. However, data cleaning and formatting is tedious and often the biggest challenge when fine-tuning. We'll share learnings from fine-tuning with synthetic data to build a substitute for GPT-3.5.
