Curious how it actually compares to LLaMa.

Last year Mistral was garbage compared to LLaMa. I needed a permissive license, so I was forced to use Mistral, but I had LLaMa that I could compare it to. I was always extremely jealous of LLaMa since the Berkley Sterling finetune was so amazing.

I ended up giving up on the project because Mistral was so unusable.

My conspiracy was that there was some European patriotism that gave Mistral a bit more hype than was merited.



They're both European. Look at the author names on the llama paper.


That is a very European thing to say/do/claim.


a goof part of team is actually located in europe


I said it was a very European thing to say, because only a European would stretch that hard.

Merikan company with Merikan investment get the credit. No one cares except Europeans about the interchangable workers residency is.

I'm trying to remember the other case where people lol'd at Europe/Italy for taking credit for something that was clearly invented in the US. I think the person was born there, and moved to the US, but Italy still took credit.

lol no. Its probably even more embarrassing that they left Europe.


I thought now everything is about meritocracy? Have we been duped?


I remember a huge improvement between the Mistral models that came out in January and February 2024 versus their later releases starting in July 2024, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was a good model for it's size.
