How to use it

Sending Inference requests

To perform inference tasks with your Mixtral model deployed at Scaleway, use the following command:

curl -s \
-H "X-Auth-Token: <IAM API key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--url "https://<Deployment UUID>.ifr.fr-par.scw.cloud/" \
--data '{"text_input": "<s>[INST] Sing me a song about Scaleway [/INST] Model answer</s>", "max_tokens": 200, "temperature": 0.5, "random_seed": 1, "top_p": 0.9}' | jq -r .text_output 

Make sure to replace <IAM API key> and <Deployment UUID> with your actual IAM API key and the Deployment UUID you are targeting.

Prompt engineering

To effectively prompt the Mistral 8x7B Instruct and get optimal outputs, it is recommended to use the following chat template:

<s>[INST] Instruction [/INST] Model answer</s>[INST] Follow-up instruction [/INST]

Receiving LLM Inference responses

Upon sending the HTTP request to the public or private endpoints exposed by the server, you will receive inference responses from the managed LLM Inference server. Process the output data according to your application’s needs. The response will contain the output generated by the LLM model based on the input provided in the request.
