"Mistral's Open Source AI Model Approaches GPT-4 Performance Milestone"

Mistral, an open source AI company, is reportedly developing a new large language model (LLM) labeled "miqu-1-70b" that is said to approach or even exceed the performance of OpenAI's GPT-4. The model was initially leaked by an over-enthusiastic employee of one of Mistral's early access customers and has garnered attention for its high performance at common LLM tasks. Mistral's co-founder and CEO confirmed the leak, stating that the model was retrained from Llama 2 and that the company has made significant progress since.
