From Simon Willison: "Mistral tweet a link to a 281GB magnet BitTorrent of Mixtral 8x22B—their latest openly licensed model release, significantly larger than their previous best open model Mixtral 8x7B. I’ve not seen anyone get this running yet but it’s likely to perform extremely well, given how good the original Mixtral was."

You're right, but the model is also not quantized so is likely to be in 16bit floats. If you quantize it you can get substantially smaller models which run faster though may be somewhat less accurate.

Knowing that the 4 bit quantized 8x7B model gets downscaled to 4.1GB, this might be roughly 3 times larger? So maybe 12GB? Let's see.
