As far as I can tell, Mistral AI stance is that this is their latest multimodal large language model (LLM). At 12 billion parameters, Pixtral might seem small compared to models like GPT-4. But what’s exciting is how these smaller models continue to surprise us with their efficiency and speed.

The introduction of Pixtral 12B also comes with some notable updates. ๐Œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฅ’๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐ค๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐‘ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ค๐ž๐ง๐ฌ: .๐ข๐ฆ๐ , .๐ข๐ฆ๐ _๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค, and .๐ข๐ฆ๐ _๐ž๐ง๐. These tokens enhance the modelโ€™s image processing capabilities, making it easier to embed and analyze visual data alongside text prompts, a interesting step forward in AI’s ability to handle multimodal tasks.
