MISTRAL CEO CONFIRMS ‘LEAK’ OF NEW OPEN SOURCE AI MODEL NEARING GPT-4 PERFORMANCE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Files for a quantized version of Mistral were leaked on HuggingFace on around January 28. Quantization is a technique that makes it possible to run certain AI models on less powerful computers and chips. The model surpasses every other LLM in the world except GPT-4 on EQ-Bench. Mistral appears to still be working on the model, so the final version may be even more capable.
