Computed differences from catalog data

  • The listed context windows are 32K tokens and 2K tokens; the larger is 16× the smaller.
  • On shared numeric benchmark entries, MMLU: Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3 − Falcon 7B Instruct = +16.3 percentage points (62.5% vs 46.2%); HumanEval: Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3 − Falcon 7B Instruct = +45 percentage points (60.2% vs 15.2%).
  • The first listed parameter quantities are 7.3B and 7B; the larger quantity is 1.04× the smaller. Total and active MoE parameters are not directly equivalent.
  • The catalog release dates are May 2024 and June 2023, about 11 months apart at the precision supplied.

Cost example: 1M input and 1M output tokens

A cost example for 1M input plus 1M output tokens cannot be calculated reliably because separate numeric input and output rates are not listed for both models.
