Mistral 7B Reviews

Teuken-7B, a multilingual open source language model, was developed under the OpenGPT-X project. It is specifically designed to accommodate Europe's diverse linguistic landscape. It was trained on a dataset that included over 50% non-English text, covering all 24 official European Union languages, to ensure robust performance. Teuken-7B's custom multilingual tokenizer is a key innovation. It has been optimized for European languages and enhances training efficiency. The model comes in two versions: Teuken-7B Base, a pre-trained foundational model, and Teuken-7B Instruct, a model that has been tuned to better follow user prompts. Hugging Face makes both versions available, promoting transparency and cooperation within the AI community. The development of Teuken-7B demonstrates a commitment to create AI models that reflect Europe’s diversity.

OLMo 2 is an open language model family developed by the Allen Institute for AI. It provides researchers and developers with open-source code and reproducible training recipes. These models can be trained with up to 5 trillion tokens, and they are competitive against other open-weight models such as Llama 3.0 on English academic benchmarks. OLMo 2 focuses on training stability by implementing techniques that prevent loss spikes in long training runs. It also uses staged training interventions to address capability deficits during late pretraining. The models incorporate the latest post-training methods from AI2's Tulu 3 resulting in OLMo 2-Instruct. The Open Language Modeling Evaluation System, or OLMES, was created to guide improvements throughout the development stages. It consists of 20 evaluation benchmarks assessing key capabilities.
