## Model Description

Nous-Yarn-Mistral-7b-128k is a state-of-the-art language model for long context, further pretrained on long context data for 1500 steps using the YaRN extension method.
It is an extension of [Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1) and supports a 128k token context window.

To use, pass `trust_remote_code=True` when loading the model, for example

```python
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("NousResearch/Yarn-Mistral-7b-128k",
  use_flash_attention_2=True,
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
  device_map="auto",
  trust_remote_code=True)
```

In addition you will need to use the latest version of `transformers` (until 4.35 comes out)
```sh
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
```
