Browse Quantizations to use this model in llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, or any compatible app.

A pre-trained language model, based on the Mistral 7B model, has been scaled down to approximately 248 million parameters. This model has been trained on 7,488,000 examples. This model isn't intended for direct use but for fine-tuning on a downstream task. This model should have a context length of around 32,768 tokens. Safe serialization has been removed due to issues saving model weights.

During evaluation on InstructMix, this model achieved an average perplexity score of 6.3. More epochs are planned for this model on different datasets.
