Questions people ask

Which is better, Mistral 7B or Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct?

Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct wins the one area where both have results: reasoning. Mistral 7B wins none.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 14 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 1 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 13 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
