LLM Comparison


Mistral

Mistral

Overview

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


Mistral AI offers 7B and mixture-of-experts models (8x7B Mixtral and 8x22B Mixtral) that are 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. The latest Mixtral 8x22B represents state-of-the-art performance in the open-source domain. Mistral AI has also begun offering proprietary Small, Large, and Edge models via their business API.

Orca

Orca

Overview

Orca is a descendant of LLaMA developed by Microsoft with finetuning on explanation traces obtained from GPT-4.


Orca-13B is a LLM developed by Microsoft. It is based on LLaMA with finetuning on complex explanation traces obtained from GPT-4. By using rich signals, Orca surpasses the performance of models such as Vicuna-13B on complex tasks. However, given its model backbone and the data used for its finetuning, Orca is under noncommercial use.
