I am using Mistral 7b Instruct for text summary and some light “assistant” type chatting for the last several months. I have been pleased at how accurate it is for my needs, especially given it’s size.

I recall alot of trial and error to find models that were compatible with the version of llama-cpp-python that oobabooga uses (at any given time). GGUF should have made the model format (and therefore model selection) more simple, but i imagine there are still nuances that make it more difficult than it should be to find a working model for a noob.

Best of luck, let us know how it goes

I’d suggest checking out WolframRavenwolf on raddit, he does regular LLM tests.

I’m looking at Beyonder 4x7B, Mistral Instruct 2x7B, Laser Dolphin 2x7B, and previously used Una Cybertron.
