How can I use Mistral on-device?

To use Mistral on-device, you can follow these steps as outlined in the WWDC sessions:

Model Training and Preparation:
- Start by defining the model architecture and training the model using libraries such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. You can leverage Apple silicon and the unified memory architecture on Mac for high-performance model training.
- Convert the trained model into the Core ML format for deployment. This involves optimizing the model representation and parameters to achieve great performance while maintaining accuracy.
Model Conversion and Optimization:
- Use Core ML tools to convert your model into the Core ML format. Core ML tools offer various optimization techniques, such as quantization and efficient key-value caching, to enhance model performance.
- For example, you can convert the Mistral 7B model to a Core ML model using post-training per-block quantization and other optimization techniques.
Integration and Execution:
- Integrate the prepared model with Apple frameworks to load and execute it within your app. Core ML optimizes hardware-accelerated execution across the CPU, GPU, and neural engine.
- Utilize Core ML's new features, such as stateful models and multifunction models, to improve inference efficiency and deployment.
