Summary

What is distinctive about Mixtral 8x7B is its sparse mixture-of-experts computation. A router selects two of eight experts per token; Mistral gives 46.7 billion total parameters and about 12.9 billion active parameters with a 32,000-token context window. The release supports five languages, coding, and Apache 2.0.

The larger variant Mixtral 8x22B retains Mixtral 8x7B’s router-and-expert design.

2026-10-17
Methodology
Independent evaluation. Exact checkpoint named in the paper: Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1. Zero-shot multiple-choice question answering with the same system prompt for all models, one question at a time, and 16,000-token input length. Task 1 shuffles documents for one patient. The table reports mean accuracy over five runs; sampleCount is the 400 benchmark questions, not five repeated runs.
Context
The 75%-79% range is the observed range across five runs, not a confidence interval. No CI is reported. The paper does not specify a served API revision or reasoning-effort setting.

Zero-shot multiple-choice question answering with the same system prompt for all models, one question at a time, and 16,000-token input length.

The table reports mean accuracy over five runs; sampleCount is the 400 benchmark questions, not five repeated runs.

The 15%-18% range is the observed range across five runs, not a confidence interval. No CI is reported. The paper does not specify a served API revision or reasoning-effort setting.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. Table 3 names Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1. Zero-shot minimal prompt, no domain-expert instructions, non-reasoning model, 100-step cap; five runs per game. This is the TextWorld aggregate across 10 games; sampleCount is unique games, not attempts.
Context
The aggregate table reports no CI. It does not publish the exact serving route, immutable model revision, quantization or a date for this model run. Five runs per game are stated; N here counts games, not multiplied attempts. The authors state that initial-release results include only models reaching at least 90% of the total score in the 100-step Simon Says with Memory mode. Separately, they qualitatively inspect transcripts from nine models scoring highly on the hardest Simon Says mode. This nine-model group is the qualitative subset, not the 34-model zero-shot evaluation set over 122 games.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. Table 3 names Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 and reports the Average across five environments containing 122 games in total. Zero-shot minimal prompt, no domain-expert instructions, non-reasoning model, 100-step cap; five runs per game. sampleCount is unique games, not attempts.
Context
The paper does not describe a separate pooled micro-average denominator for this cell or publish a CI. The 122 is the suite's unique game count; five runs per game are stated. Serving revision and route remain unpublished. The authors state that initial-release results include only models reaching at least 90% of the total score in the 100-step Simon Says with Memory mode.
