About

Zephyr 7B Beta is a 7-billion parameter large language model, fine-tuned from the Mistral-7B-v0.1 model. It is tailored to serve as an effective virtual assistant, performing well in generating human-like responses. The model's training involved Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) on a combination of publicly available and synthetic datasets, achieving strong performance on benchmarks like MT-Bench and AlpacaEval, especially for conversational tasks. However, its complexity falls short when compared to proprietary models, especially in tasks involving coding and mathematics. A notable limitation is its insufficient alignment to human safety preferences and the absence of in-the-loop filtering to prevent problematic outputs. Zephyr 7B Beta is English-based and carries an MIT license.

Zephyr 7B Beta is an open-source model in the Zephyr family. This page tracks provider routes through Fireworks AI and Replicate API, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $0.05 input and $0.25 output per 1M tokens. Headline tracked benchmarks include Google-Proof Q&A 47.3, HellaSwag 88.1, and HumanEval 67.8.
