Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3 - llamafile

This repository contains executable weights (which we call llamafiles) that run on Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD for AMD64 and ARM64.

• Model creator: MistralAI
• Original model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3
• Base model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.3

The third edition of Mistral 7B was released on May 22th, 2024. It increases the vocabulary size to 32768, supports the v3 tokenizer, and introduces support for function calling.

Software Last Updated: 2025-03-31

Llamafile Version: 0.9.2

Quickstart

Assuming your system has at least 16GB of RAM, you can try running the following command which download, concatenate, and execute the model.

wget https://huggingface.co/Mozilla/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-llamafile/resolve/main/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile
chmod +x Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile
./Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile --help   # view manual
./Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile          # launch web gui + oai api
./Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile -p ...   # cli interface (scriptable)

Alternatively, you may download an official llamafile executable from Mozilla Ocho on GitHub, in which case you can use the Granite llamafiles as a simple weights data file.

llamafile -m Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile ...

For further information, please see the llamafile README.

Prompting

Prompt template:

[INST] {{prompt}} [/INST]

Command template:

./Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3.Q6_K.llamafile -p "[INST]{{prompt}}[/INST]"

The maximum context size of this model is 32768 tokens. These llamafiles use a default context size of 4096 tokens. Whenever you need the maximum context size to be available with llamafile for any given model, you can pass the -c 0 flag. The default temperature for these llamafiles is 0.8 because it helps for this model. It can be tuned, e.g. --temp 0.

About llamafile

llamafile is a new format introduced by Mozilla Ocho on Nov 20th 2023. It uses Cosmopolitan Libc to turn LLM weights into runnable llama.cpp binaries that run on the stock installs of six OSes for both ARM64 and AMD64.

In addition to being executables, llamafiles are also zip archives. Each llamafile contains a GGUF file, which you can extract using the unzip command. If you want to change or add files to your llamafiles, then the zipalign command (distributed on the llamafile github) should be used instead of the traditional zip command.

Installation

It is recommended to use mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 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', '7B-Instruct-v0.3')
mistral_models_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3", allow_patterns=["params.json", "consolidated.safetensors", "tokenizer.model.v3"], local_dir=mistral_models_path)

Chat

After installing mistral_inference, a mistral-chat CLI command should be available in your environment. You can chat with the model using

mistral-chat $HOME/mistral_models/7B-Instruct-v0.3 --instruct --max_tokens 256

Instruct following

from mistral_inference.model import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest


tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tokenizer.model.v3")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)

completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(messages=[UserMessage(content="Explain Machine Learning to me in a nutshell.")])

tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens

out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=64, temperature=0.0, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)

Function calling

from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.tool_calls import Function, Tool
from mistral_inference.model import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate

from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest


tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tokenizer.model.v3")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)

completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(
    tools=[
        Tool(
            function=Function(
                name="get_current_weather",
                description="Get the current weather",
                parameters={
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "location": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "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.",
                        },
                    },
                    "required": ["location", "format"],
                },
            )
        )
    ],
    messages=[
        UserMessage(content="What's the weather like today in Paris?"),
        ],
)

tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens

out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=64, temperature=0.0, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])

print(result)

Generate with transformers

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

from transformers import pipeline

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
chatbot = pipeline("text-generation", model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")
chatbot(messages)

Limitations

The Mistral 7B Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance. It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
