DBRX is an open-sourced large language model (LLM) developed by Mosaic ML team at Databricks, released on March 27, 2024.[1][2][3] It is a mixture-of-experts Transformer model, with 132 billion parameters in total. 36 billion parameters (4 out of 16 experts) are active for each token.[4] The released model comes in either a base foundation model version or an instruct-tuned variant.[5]
DRBX outperforms other prominent open-source models such as Meta's LLaMA 2, Mistral AI's Mixtral, and xAI's Grok and close-sourced models such as GPT-3.5 in several benchmarks ranging from language understanding, programming ability and mathematics.[4][6][7] As of March 28, 2024, this makes DBRX the world's most powerful open sourced model.[8]
It was trained in 2.5 months[8] on 3,072 Nvidia H100s connected by 3.2 terabytes per second bandwidth (InfiniBand), for a training cost of $10m USD.[1]
