Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-DPO

Model description

Nous Hermes 2 Mixtral 8x7B DPO is the new flagship Nous Research model trained over the Mixtral 8x7B MoE LLM.

The model was trained on over 1,000,000 entries of primarily GPT-4 generated data, as well as other high quality data from open datasets across the AI landscape, achieving state of the art performance on a variety of tasks.

This is the SFT + DPO version of Mixtral Hermes 2, we have also released an SFT only version, for people to find which works best for them, which can be found here: https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT

We are grateful to Together.ai for sponsoring our compute during the many experiments both training Mixtral and working on DPO!
