From Simon Willison: “Mistral tweet a link to a 281GB magnet BitTorrent of Mixtral 8x22B—their latest openly licensed model release, significantly larger than their previous best open model Mixtral 8x7B. I’ve not seen anyone get this running yet but it’s likely to perform extremely well, given how good the original Mixtral was.”
Probably not. Since they’re doing exactly this (drop a magnet link out of the blue) for the third time or so in a row… It’s more likely a scheme than related to current happenings.
