mistral which clocks at 32k context
I may be wrong, but my understanding was/is:
- Mistral can handle 32k context, but only using sliding window attention. So it can't really process all 32k tokens at once.
- Mixtral (note the 'x') 8x7B can handle 32k context without resorting to sliding window attention.
I wonder whether Mistral would do a better job summarizing a long (32k token) doc all at once, or using recursive summarization.
- icelancer 2y agoHmm. Interesting question. We had no issues using Mixtral 8x7B for this, perhaps reinforcing your point. We use fine-tuned Mistral-7B instances but not for long context stuff. Maybe a neat eval to try.
