From my perspective, I want to use the best model. But maybe as models improve and for certain use cases that will start to change. If I work on a project that has certain parts that are fulfilled by Mistral and can reduce cost, that's cool.
I'm surprised how expensive this model is compared to GPT-4. Only ~20% cheaper
- michaelt 3y agoWhat you say is kinda an example of what I mean. You say you know people who use and fine tune Mistral / variants You know what you can't do with Mistral Large? Fine tune it, or use variants.
- jasonjmcghee 3y agoI was mostly trying to say, in my experience, people who use open models don't only use open models. But I guess I'm hearing you say now, a key point was- the attractive part about Mistral was the open model aspect. But it's difficult to pay expenses and wages if you can't charge money. Re: fine tuning- hard for me to believe they won't add it eventually.
- staunton 3y ago> I'm surprised how expensive this model is compared to GPT-4. Only ~20% cheaper I'm guessing all currently available paid options are operating at a (perhaps significant) loss in order to capture market share. So it might be that nobody can afford to push the prices even lower without significant risk of running out of money before any "market capture" can realistically be expected to happen...
