# Mistral

[Mistral](https://huggingface.co/papers/2310.06825) is a 7B parameter language model, available as a pretrained and instruction-tuned variant, focused on balancing
the scaling costs of large models with performance and efficient inference. This model uses sliding window attention (SWA) trained with a 8K context length and a fixed cache size to handle longer sequences more effectively. Grouped-query attention (GQA) speeds up inference and reduces memory requirements. Mistral also features a byte-fallback BPE tokenizer to improve token handling and efficiency by ensuring characters are never mapped to out-of-vocabulary tokens.

You can find all the original Mistral checkpoints under the [Mistral AI_](https://huggingface.co/mistralai) organization.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the Mistral models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Mistral to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to chat with [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.

<hfoptions id="usage">
<hfoption id="Pipeline">

```python
from transformers import pipeline


messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"}
]

chatbot = pipeline("text-generation", model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3", device=0)
chatbot(messages)
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="AutoModel">

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer


model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3", attn_implementation="sdpa", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"}
]

model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0]
"Mayonnaise can be made as follows: (...)"
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="transformers CLI">

```python
echo -e "My favorite condiment is" | transformers chat mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.3 --dtype auto --device 0 --attn_implementation flash_attention_2
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to only quantize the weights to 4-bits.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig


# specify how to quantize the model
quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
        load_in_4bit=True,
        bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
        bnb_4bit_compute_dtype="torch.float16",
)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3", quantization_config=True, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")

prompt = "My favourite condiment is"

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"}
]

model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0]
"The expected output"
```

Use the [AttentionMaskVisualizer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/beb9b5b02246b9b7ee81ddf938f93f44cfeaad19/src/transformers/utils/attention_visualizer.py#L139) to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

```python
from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer


visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")
visualizer("Do you have mayonnaise recipes?")
```
