## I will answer more questions about this model tomorrow, I have not slept since mixtral 22bx8 dropped. Base model + V.2 Lora checkpoint will be available tomorrow ##

## Mistral-22b-V.01 Release Announcement 🚀

**Date**: April 11

**Creator** Nicolas Mejia-Petit

### Overview
Just one day after the release of **Mixtral-8x-22b**, we are excited to introduce our handcrafted experimental model, **Mistral-22b-V.01**. This model is a culmination of equal knowledge distilled from all experts into a single, dense 22b model. This model is not a single trained expert, rather its a compressed MOE model, turning it into a dense 22b mode. This is the first working MOE to Dense model conversion.

### Capabilities
- **Math Proficiency**: The model exhibits strong mathematical abilities.
- **Reasoning**: It possesses decent reasoning skills.
- **User Interaction**: It responds effectively to user prompts.

### Experimental Nature
Please note that Mistral-22b-V.01 is an experimental model. It has been fine-tuned with fewer examples compared to the model set for release tomorrow. We encourage you to explore its capabilities and provide feedback.

### Upcoming Release: V.2
Stay tuned for the release of **V.2** tomorrow, which will feature enhancements in:
- Multi-turn conversations
- Multiturn coding
- JSON mode
- Agent abilities

### Background
The decision to release this experimental version was prompted by someone attempting to replicate my experiment based on my tweets. We wanted to ensure our community has access to the official version first.

### Stay Updated
Keep an eye out for **V.2**, it's going to be a game-changer! And is currently training, will be done in the next ~24 hours. 🌟Paper Coming Soon🌟
