With Mixtral 8x7b and Gemini Pro, two of the most interesting new language models have arrived in the Huggingface chatbot arena. Both are said to be on about the same level as GPT-3.5. However, Mixtral 8x7b is available as open source and is potentially cheaper to run. In the arena, both models can compete "side by side" to answer the same questions or tasks. Interestingly, Mixtral 8x7b is currently ahead of Gemini Pro in the Chatbot Arena leaderboard and tied with GPT-3.5 Turbo. But the differences in points are small.
