Introducing Mistral 7B: A Powerful Language Model with Grouped-query and Sliding Window Attention

-----------------
Mistral AI has released Mistral 7B, a powerful language model that performs well on various benchmarks. It uses Grouped-query attention and Sliding Window Attention for faster inference and handling longer sequences. Mistral 7B can be downloaded and used without restrictions, and it is easy to fine-tune for different tasks. However, there is a debate in the comments about whether the release can be considered truly open source. Some argue that the model's weights and architecture are provided, allowing for modification and exploration, while others argue that the source code used to construct the model is missing. The discussion also touches on the definition of open source and the importance of providing the tools to recreate and modify the model.
