Llama 3 vs. Mistral

LLM Comparison


Llama 3

Llama 3

Overview

Llama 3 is Meta AI's open source LLM available for both research and commercial use cases (assuming you have less than 700 million monthly active users).


The successor to Llama 2, Llama 3 demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks and is, according to Meta, the "best open source models of their class, period". Improvements to the pretraining -- 7X more data than Llama 2 --- and post-training -- careful curation of instruction-tuning data -- processes result in improved alignment and output quality

Mistral

Mistral

Overview

Developed by some of the researchers behind Llama, the Mistral large language models are the gold standard for accessible and performant open source models.


Mistral AI offers 7B and a mixture-of-experts 8x7B open source models competitive or better than commercial models of similar size. Available under the Apache 2.0 license, the Mistral models are now also available via most cloud vendors. After releasing their open source models, Mistral AI has also begun offering Small, Large, and Embed models via their business API.
