Scaleway Joins Hugging Face Inference Providers
Scaleway has been added as an inference provider on the Hugging Face platform, expanding the ecosystem of third-party compute options available to developers. This integration allows users to route model inference through Scaleway's infrastructure directly via Hugging Face's unified API. The announcement reflects continued growth of the Hugging Face inference provider program as a multi-cloud deployment layer for open-weights models.
Mixtral 8x7B: Mistral AI Releases Sparse Mixture-of-Experts Open-Weight Model
Mistral AI has released Mixtral 8x7B, a sparse mixture-of-experts (SMoE) model with 46.7B total parameters but only 12.9B active parameters per token, enabling inference speed and cost equivalent to a 12.9B model. Licensed under Apache 2.0, Mixtral outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks and matches or exceeds GPT-3.5, with support for 32k context, five European languages, and strong code generation. An instruction-tuned variant (Mixtral 8x7B Instruct) achieves 8.3 on MT-Bench, claimed best among open-source models at release. The model is deployed behind Mistral's mistral-small API endpoint and supported via vLLM with Megablocks CUDA kernels.
