Comment on Everybody’s talking about Mistral, an upstart French challenger to OpenAI

I run it fine on a base model MacBook Air with 8Gb of RAM and absolutely crazy on a 30 GPU cores M2 Max. Didn’t try on my company’s M1 Pro but I will tomorrow.

I use the LMStudio app and download Mistral from there. The heavier model for my beefy Mac and a 3Gb one for the Air.

I tried a lot of models for development purposes and this one blew my mind.

  You download the model and it’s on your computer for as long as you want. The whole point is to be able to use it locally.

    So it is entirely local? Schweet! How large is it?

    So it is entirely local? Absolutely
    
    How large is it? 12 models of quantization, from 3.08GB to 7.70GB
    
    I use mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q3_K_L.gguf 3.82GB on the MBA
    
    Note that it might crash sometimes during computation. Just push the button “reload” then “continue” and the model finish its sentence as if nothing happened. I don’t know if its related to MLStudio (the app using the model) or the model itself though.
