Mistral Small
On September 17, 2024, Mistral AI announced several key updates to enhance the accessibility and performance of their AI offerings. They introduced a free tier on "La Plateforme," their serverless platform for tuning and deploying Mistral models as API endpoints, enabling developers to experiment and prototype at no cost. Additionally, Mistral AI reduced prices across their entire model lineup, with significant cuts such as a 50% reduction for Mistral Nemo and an 80% decrease for Mistral Small and Codestral, making advanced AI more cost-effective for users. The company also unveiled Mistral Small v24.09, a 22-billion-parameter model offering a balance between performance and efficiency, suitable for tasks like translation, summarization, and sentiment analysis. Furthermore, they made Pixtral 12B, a vision-capable model with image understanding capabilities, freely available on "Le Chat," allowing users to analyze and caption images without compromising text-based performance.

LLaVA
LLaVA (Large Language-and-Vision Assistant) is an innovative multimodal model that integrates a vision encoder with the Vicuna language model to facilitate comprehensive visual and language understanding. Through end-to-end training, LLaVA exhibits impressive chat capabilities, emulating the multimodal functionalities of models like GPT-4. Notably, LLaVA-1.5 has achieved state-of-the-art performance across 11 benchmarks, utilizing publicly available data and completing training in approximately one day on a single 8-A100 node, surpassing methods that rely on billion-scale datasets. The development of LLaVA involved the creation of a multimodal instruction-following dataset, generated using language-only GPT-4. This dataset comprises 158,000 unique language-image instruction-following samples, including conversations, detailed descriptions, and complex reasoning tasks. This data has been instrumental in training LLaVA to perform a wide array of visual and language tasks effectively.
