Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is the default, i'm downloading the Llama2 model to test it with now, but many models on HuggingFace should still work
I do not believe any 7B model comes even close to 3.5 in quality. I used LLama V1 64B, and it was horrible in comparison. Are you really telling me that this tiny model gives better general answers? Or am I just misunderstanding what you are saying?
I didn’t say better, I said comparable
And faster, without handing over my data and conversations for monetization
Given the locally hosted benefits, and the ability to go to chatgpt for any answer minstrel gives that doesn’t satisfy you, makes it strong competition to chatgpt as the default tool
Hosting it yourself also means you can swap llm’s out based on context and what they’re trained on. Highly tuned models perform better than chatgpt at the things they are meant to excel in.
Prompt:
Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
GPT 3.5-Turbo doesn’t support completion as it’s for chat, so I used an even worse one, text-davinci-003 which is far behind state of the art.
Mistral 7B might be okay for some very specific cases, but it’s not comparable to proper models at all.
edit: gave it a second chance, it’s a bit better (at least no complete nonsense anymore), but still terrible writing and doesn’t make much sense
