Model Card for Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1

Encode and Decode with mistral_common

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest
 
mistral_models_path = "MISTRAL_MODELS_PATH"
 
tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.v3()
 
completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(messages=[UserMessage(content="Explain Machine Learning to me in a nutshell.")])
 
tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens

Inference with mistral_inference

from mistral_inference.transformer import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)
out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=64, temperature=0.0, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)

result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)

Preparing inputs with Hugging Face transformers

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1")

chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain Machine Learning to me in a nutshell."}]

tokens = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True)

Inference with hugging face transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# You can also use 8-bit or 4-bit quantization here
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
model.to("cuda")
 
generated_ids = model.generate(**tokens, max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True)

# decode with HF tokenizer
result = tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0])
print(result)

[!TIP] PRs to correct the transformers tokenizer so that it gives 1-to-1 the same results as the mistral_common reference implementation are very welcome!


The Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1 Large Language Model (LLM) is an instruct fine-tuned version of the Mixtral-8x22B-v0.1.

Function calling example

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import (
    AssistantMessage,
    UserMessage,

from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.tool_calls import (

                parameters={

                            "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",
                        },
                        "format": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
                            "description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location.",
                        },

            )
        )
    ],
    messages=[
        UserMessage(content="What's the weather like today in Paris"),
    ],
    model="test",
)

encodeds = tokenizer_v3.encode_chat_completion(mistral_query).tokens
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1")
model_inputs = encodeds.to(device)
model.to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True)
sp_tokenizer = tokenizer_v3.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer
decoded = sp_tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0])
print(decoded)

Function calling with transformers

To use this example, you'll need transformers version 4.42.0 or higher. Please see the function calling guide in the transformers docs for more information.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

def get_current_weather(location: str, format: str):
    """
    Get the current weather

    Args:
        location: The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA
        format: The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location. (choices: ["celsius", "fahrenheit"])
    """
    pass

conversation = [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Paris?"}]
tools = [get_current_weather]

# format and tokenize the tool use prompt 
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
            conversation,
            tools=tools,
            add_generation_prompt=True,
            return_dict=True,
            return_tensors="pt",
)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

inputs.to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1000)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Note that, for reasons of space, this example does not show a complete cycle of calling a tool and adding the tool call and tool results to the chat history so that the model can use them in its next generation. For a full tool calling example, please see the function calling guide, and note that Mixtral does use tool call IDs, so these must be included in your tool calls and tool results. They should be exactly 9 alphanumeric characters.

Instruct tokenizer

The HuggingFace tokenizer included in this release should match our own. To compare: pip install mistral-common

from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import (
    AssistantMessage,
    UserMessage,
)
from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.tokens.instruct.normalize import ChatCompletionRequest

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

tokenizer_v3 = MistralTokenizer.v3()

mistral_query = ChatCompletionRequest(
    messages=[
        UserMessage(content="How many experts ?"),
        AssistantMessage(content="8"),
        UserMessage(content="How big ?"),
        AssistantMessage(content="22B"),
        UserMessage(content="Noice 🎉 !"),
    ],
    model="test",
)
hf_messages = mistral_query.model_dump()['messages']

tokenized_mistral = tokenizer_v3.encode_chat_completion(mistral_query).tokens

tokenizer_hf = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1')
tokenized_hf = tokenizer_hf.apply_chat_template(hf_messages, tokenize=True)

assert tokenized_hf == tokenized_mistral

Function calling and special tokens

This tokenizer includes more special tokens, related to function calling :

  • [TOOL_CALLS]
  • [AVAILABLE_TOOLS]
  • [/AVAILABLE_TOOLS]
  • [TOOL_RESULTS]
  • [/TOOL_RESULTS]

If you want to use this model with function calling, please be sure to apply it similarly to what is done in our SentencePieceTokenizerV3.
