Mistral AI has launched Mixtral 8x22B, establishing a new standard for open-source models in performance and efficiency. The model prides itself on powerful multilingual abilities and excellent mathematical and coding skills.
The Mixtral 8x22B operates as a Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) model, only using 39 billion of its total 141 billion parameters when in operation.
Apart from its impressive efficiency, the Mixtral 8x22B has mastery over several major languages including English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Its competence extends into technical areas with profound mathematical and coding capabilities. Specifically, the model supports native function calling combined with a ‘constrained output mode,’ promoting substantial application development and technical enhancements.

With a substantial 64K tokens context window, Mixtral 8x22B ensures precise information recall from voluminous documents, further appealing to enterprise-level utilisation where handling extensive data sets is routine.
In line with fostering a collaborative and innovative AI research environment, Mistral AI has released Mixtral 8x22B under the Apache 2.0 license. This highly permissive open-source license ensures no-restriction usage and enables widespread adoption.
Statistically, Mixtral 8x22B outclasses many existing models. In head-to-head comparisons on standard industry benchmarks – ranging from common sense, reasoning, to subject-specific knowledge – Mistral’s new innovation excels. Figures released by Mistral AI illustrate that Mixtral 8x22B significantly outperforms LLaMA 2 70B model in varied linguistic contexts across critical reasoning and knowledge benchmarks:
Furthermore, in the arenas of coding and maths, Mixtral continues its dominance among open models. Updated results show an impressive performance improvement in mathematical benchmarks, following the release of an instructed version of the model:
Prospective users and developers are urged to explore Mixtral 8x22B on La Plateforme, Mistral AI’s interactive platform. Here, they can engage directly with the model.
In an era where AI’s role is ever-expanding, Mixtral 8x22B’s blend of high performance, efficiency, and open accessibility marks a significant milestone in the democratisation of advanced AI tools.
