Instructions to use mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Dear Mistral AI Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working on an AI-powered chatbot project that leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to answer user queries based on YouTube video content. As part of this system, we are exploring open and efficient language models for response generation.
After reviewing various options, we found the Mistral-7B-Instruct model to be a perfect fit for our use case, given its compact size, strong contextual reasoning abilities, and open-weight architecture.

I would be grateful if you could grant access to the model files via DOI, as we plan to use it strictly for academic and research purposes under compliant and responsible AI usage guidelines.

Please let me know if you require any additional information or credentials to process the request.

Thank you for your time and for creating such impactful open models.

Best regards,
