Tip
If you are unsure which chat model to use, we currently recommend Llama 3.1 8B Instruct (llama-3.1-8b-instruct) to get started.

| Provider | Model string | Context window (Tokens) | Maximum output (Tokens) | License | Model card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mistral | pixtral-12b-2409 | 128k | 4096 | Apache-2.0 | HF |
Note
Image sizes are limited to 32 million pixels (e.g., a resolution of about 8096 x 4048). Images with a resolution higher than 1024 x 1024 are supported, but automatically downscaled to fit these limitations (image ratio and proportions will be preserved).
