What is distinctive about Mixtral 8x22B is its large sparse mixture-of-experts design. Mistral describes 141 billion total parameters, 39 billion active parameters, and a 64,000-token context window; only part of the eight experts activates per token.

The open weights use Apache 2.0. Mixtral 8x22B extends the MoE architecture of the smaller Mixtral 8x7B to 141 billion total parameters.
