What is DRBX Instruct?

DBRX Instruct is open-source large language model (LLM) developed by Databricks company from scratch and released at the end of March, 2024.

This large language model specializes in few-turn conversational tasks and excels at a broad set of natural language tasks such as text summarization, question-answering, extraction, and coding. DBRX Instruct is the leading model on composite benchmarks, programming, and mathematics benchmarks, and MMLU.

Some facts about DBRX Instruct:

• It is a mixture-of-experts (MoE) Transformer model with 132 billion total parameters, with 36 billion active parameters (4 active experts) per token.

• DBRX Instruct was trained in 2.5 months on 3,072 Nvidia H100 GPUs with 3.2 TB/s interconnect bandwidth, at a cost of $10 million.

• DBRX Instruct is an instruct-tuned variant of the base DBRX model, specialized for few-turn interactions and a broad set of natural language tasks.

• Databricks has released both the DBRX Instruct model and the underlying DBRX Base model under an open license for commercial and research use.

Accessing DBRX Instruct via ChatLabs AI

The base model (DBRX Base) and the more advanced DBRX Instruct model are available on Hugging Face under an open license. Okay, but how to use them easily since Databricks doesn't have its own chatbot interface?

You will also be able to search the web, create images, use a prompt library, and create your own AI assistants based on any AI model.

DRBX Instruct Performance

According to the developer, DBRX 132B Instruct model outperforms many other open-source LLMs like Meta AI LLaMA 2 and Mistral AI Mixtral, as well as closed-source models like OpenAI GPT-3.5, in benchmarks for language understanding, programming ability, and mathematics.

Comparison of DBRX performs to other well-known open source models in language understanding (MMLU), programming (HumanEval), and math (GSM8K). The graph taken from DBRX Instruct official press release.

ChatLabs Test: DBRX Instruct vs Mixtral in Code Writing

We used ChatLabs AI to request that both the Databricks DRBX Instruct and Mixtral 8x22B models write a reverse proxy in Python, using markdown for the format. Here are the results:

Both models quickly created working reverse proxy code, with DBRX Instruct generating more tokens per second. However, considering the differences seen in multiple tests, we view their coding abilities as roughly equal. Read more in our article.

Conclusion

In summary, DBRX Instruct, a state-of-the-art open-source LLM developed by Databricks, demonstrates strong performance across a variety of language and coding tasks. It could be easily accessible via ChatLabs platform absolutely for free by all users. Just follow the steps mentioned, and you can start using one of the top AI models right away.

If you set up ChatLabs, you can access Databricks Instruct and more than 30 other AI models like Meta AI Llama 3, OpenAI GPT-4, Opus Claude 3, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and more. You can also search the web, make images, use a collection of prompts, and build your own AI assitants with any AI model.
