Model Card for Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407

The Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407 Large Language Model (LLM) is a pretrained generative text model of 12B parameters trained jointly by Mistral AI and NVIDIA, it significantly outperforms existing models smaller or similar in size.

For more details about this model please refer to our release blog post.

Mistral Inference

Install

It is recommended to use mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407 with mistral-inference. For HF transformers code snippets, please keep scrolling.

pip install mistral_inference

Download

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from pathlib import Path

mistral_models_path = Path.home().joinpath('mistral_models', 'Nemo-v0.1')
mistral_models_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407", allow_patterns=["params.json", "consolidated.safetensors", "tekken.json"], local_dir=mistral_models_path)

Demo

After installing mistral_inference, a mistral-demo CLI command should be available in your environment.

mistral-demo $HOME/mistral_models/Nemo-v0.1

Transformers

NOTE: Until a new release has been made, you need to install transformers from source:
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

If you want to use Hugging Face transformers to generate text, you can do something like this.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
inputs = tokenizer("Hello my name is", return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Unlike previous Mistral models, Mistral Nemo requires smaller temperatures. We recommend to use a temperature of 0.3.

Note

Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407 is a pretrained base model and therefore does not have any moderation mechanisms.
