I've had excellent results with Mixtral too - it's genuinely impressive. Only problem is that it's a relatively big model that's difficult to run with full GPU inference on consumer hardware (vs the 7b/13b models people typically use).

So far, the main consumer platform capable of running it without 'ruining' the quality of its output (with high levels of quantization) is the newer Apple Silicon Macs with unified memory - generally >=48GB. It can apparently be done on 32 or 36GB, but there's not much headroom.

Edit: As coder543 points out, yes - you can run it without more lossy levels of quantization on multi-GPU setups providing those have enough combined vram.
