Built upon Mistral-7B and trained on both English and Japanese datasets, they are available as two distinct NIM microservices for Chat and Instruct functions. Notably, Rakuten’s models have achieved impressive results in the LM Evaluation Harness benchmark, securing the highest average score among open Japanese large language models between January and March 2024.
