Mistral Transparency Report

1. Data acquisition methods (Score: 0)

What methods does the developer use to acquire data used to build the model?

Disclosure:

No information provided about data acquisition, though Mistral notes, in general, that "We do not communicate on our training datasets. We keep proprietary some intermediary assets (code and resources) required to produce both the Open-Source models and the Optimized models. Among others, this involves the training logic for models and the datasets used in training"

https://help.mistral.ai/en/articles/347390-does-mistral-ai-communicate-on-the-training-datasets

Score justification:

No information provided and Mistral makes clear they do not provide information about the training data.

Indicator notes:

Which of the following data acquisition methods does the developer use: 
 (i) acquiring existing public datasets, (ii) crawling the web, (iii) using data acquired via its existing products and services, (iv) licensing existing data from external parties, (v) having humans create or annotate new data, (vi) using models to generate new data,
 or (vii) other data acquisition methods not captured by the above. For example, if the developer uses reinforcement learning from human feedback to train models using model-generated outputs with human preference annotations, this would satisfy categories (v) and (vi). Alternatively, if the developer post-trains its model using off-the-shelf preference data (for example, the Alpaca dataset), this would satisfy category (i).

Example disclosure:

To build our model, we acquire data by crawling the Internet for publicly available data, licensing data from third-parties, and using models to synthetically generate new data. Humans do not create new data nor do we use data from our other products/services to train our model.

Emissions should be reported in appropriate units, which most often will be tons of carbon dioxide emitted (tCO2), along with a description of the measurement methodology, which may involve estimation. Emissions should be reported to a precision of one significant figure (e.g. 500 tCO2). No form of decomposition into compute phases is required, but it should be clear whether the reported emissions is for a single model run or includes additional runs, or hyperparameter tuning, or training other models like reward models, or other steps in the model development process that generate emissions. If the developer is unable to measure or estimate this quantity due to information not being available from another party (e.g. compute provider), we will award this point if the developer explicitly discloses what information it lack and why it lacks it. Emissions should correspond with the energy used in the previous indicator.

Example disclosure:

Our model yielded an estimate of 5 x 10^3 tCO2. To estimate training carbon emissions, we multiplied training energy usage (1 x 10^4 MWh) by a 2023 estimate for the US data center carbon intensity (0.375 tCO2/MWh) given the data centers used in training operate in the US.

For all stages that are described, is there a clear description of the associated learning objectives or a clear characterization of the nature of this update to the model?

Disclosure:

No information provided about model development process.

References:

Not disclosed

Score justification:

No information provided.

Indicator notes:

We recognize that different developers may use different terminology for these stages, or conceptualize the stages differently. We will award this point if there is a clear description of the update to the model related to each stage, whether that is the intent of the stage (e.g. making the model less harmful), a mechanistic characterization (e.g. minimizing a specific loss function), or an empirical assessment (e.g. evaluation results conducted before and after the stage).

Example disclosure:

During unsupervised pre-training, the objective is next-token prediction. During supervised instruction tuning, we optimize for correctness and helpfulness on labeled tasks. RLHF aligns model outputs with human preference judgments. Domain-specific fine-tuning focuses on improving in-domain capabilities using specialized data (e.g., code or legal text). Final safety alignment reduces disallowed or harmful responses.

Not disclosed

Score justification:

The developer does not disclose information about the model components, size, or architecture.

Indicator notes:

Basic model properties include: the input modality, output modality, model size, model components, and model architecture. To receive a point, all model properties should be disclosed. Modalities refer to the types or formats of information that the model can accept as input. Examples of input modalities include text, image, audio, video, tables, graphs. Model components refer to distinct and identifiable parts of the model. We recognize that different developers may use different terminology for model components, or conceptualize components differently. Examples include: (i) For a text-to-image model, components could refer to a text encoder and an image encoder, which may have been trained separately. (ii) For a retrieval-augmented model, components could refer to a separate retriever module. Model size should be reported in appropriate units, which generally is the number of model parameters, broken down by named component. Model size should be reported to a precision of one significant figure (e.g. 500 billion parameters for text encoder, 20 billion parameters for image encoder). Model architecture is the overall structure and organization of a foundation model, which includes the way in which any disclosed components are integrated and how data moves through the model during training or inference. We recognize that different developers may use different terminology for model architecture, or conceptualize the architecture differently; a sufficient disclosure includes any clear, though potentially incomplete, description of the model architecture.

Example disclosure:

Input modality: Text Output modality: Text Model components: Decoder-only model trained using self-supervised learning, followed by supervised fine tuning and RLHF that are used to align the language model to follow users' instructions and be helpful, harmless, and honest. Model size: 70B parameters Model architecture: Autoregressive (causal, decoder only) transformer language model with rotary position embeddings and are trained on the next token prediction task.

References:

Not disclosed

Score justification:

From pubic disclosures it's possible to infer certain release stages (e.g., Beta customers), but it's difficult interpret these as the full set of release stages.

Indicator notes:

Release stages include A/B testing, release on a user-facing product, GA release, open-weight release, etc. We recognize that the release of a foundation model falls along a spectrum, with many forms of partial release, and that different developers may conceptualize release differently. We will award a point if the developer provides a clear identification of the stages through which the model was released.

Example disclosure:

We began with an internal alpha test for two weeks, followed by a closed beta with selected enterprise partners for one month, then a public waitlisted preview, and finally a general availability release once thresholds on safety benchmarks were met.
58. Risk thresholds (Score: 0)

Are risk thresholds disclosed?

Disclosure:

Not disclosed

References:

Not disclosed

Score justification:

No information provided about risk thresholds.

Indicator notes:

Risk thresholds determine when a risk level is unacceptably high to a developer (e.g. leading to the decision to not release a model), moderately high (e.g. triggering additional safety screening), or low enough to permit normal usage. We will award this point if the developer discloses explicit risk thresholds that clarify (i) which harmful outcomes are being scored, (ii) how the scores are computed (in general terms, not necessarily disclosing internal algorithms), and (iii) what triggers an action to block, delay, or otherwise modify a model's release. Alternatively, we will award a point if the developer discloses that it does not consider explicit risk thresholds during model release.

Example disclosure:

Our risk threshold for biorisks is the ability to autonomously create bioweapons. Current models score a medium: they don't autonomously create bioweapons but could help a skilled practitioner with access to materials in speeding up creation of bioweapons. Risk thresholds higher than medium would delay the model's release until the risk level drops to medium or below.
59. Versioning protocol (Score: 0)

Is there a disclosed protocol for versioning and deprecation of the model?

Example disclosure:

We version models based on the date of release: e.g., ModelName-11-01-2024. We additionally provide ModelName-latest, corresponding to the latest release. We deprecate versions of models when we plan to remove access to with a six months notice to users. Users should respond to model deprecation by switching to the newest version of the models or an equivalent non-deprecated model. Users can switch to a different model by replacing the model identifier (to e.g., ModelName-latest for the latest version) in API calls or through the Python SDK.

From public information, the developer has six API providers. To receive a point, the developer must list the top-5 in addition to the metric by which those top-5 were chosen.

Indicator notes:

We define distribution channels to be either an API provider (a pathway by which users can query the model with inputs and receive outputs) or a model distributor (a pathway by which model weights are released). We recognize that distribution channels may arise without the knowledge of the model developer. For example, the weights of a model may be released through one distribution channel and then be distributed through other channels. Distribution channels can be ranked by any reasonable metric (e.g., number of queries, number of downloads, number of users, revenue). A description of the metric should be provided. API providers and model distributors may be ranked separately using different metrics as long as the total number of distribution channels equals five (if five distribution channels exist). For example, the developer may choose to disclose the top-3 API providers (ranked by the number of queries) and the top-2 model distributors (ranked by the number of downloads).

Example disclosure:

We provide API access to the model through A, B, and C. We distribute model weights through D and E. We pick the top-3 API providers based on the average number of queries per month and the top-2 model weight providers based on the average number of downloads per month.

Mistral Terms of Service

Score justification:

The developer discloses the terms of service.

Indicator notes:

We define terms of use to include terms of service and model licenses. We will award this point for a pointer to the terms of service or model license. In the event that model's licenses are written more generally, it should be clear which assets they apply to. We recognize that different developers may adopt different business models and therefore have different types of model licenses. Examples of model licenses include responsible AI licenses, open-source licenses, and licenses that allow for commercial use. Terms of service should be disclosed for each of the top-5 distribution channels. However, we will award this point if there are terms-of-service that appear to apply to the bulk of the model’s distribution channels.

Example disclosure:

Our terms of service are published at https://ourcompany.com/model-tos - these terms cover both our API and all distribution channels for model weights.
65. Distribution channels with usage data (Score: 0)

References:

https://docs.mistral.ai/ https://mistral.ai/terms#terms-of-service

Score justification:

TOS clarify how usage data is handled for key distribution channels, but leaves out cloud providers

Indicator notes:

We define distribution channels to be either an API provider (a pathway by which users can query the model with inputs and receive outputs) or a model distributor (a pathway by which model weights are released). We recognize that distribution channels may arise without the knowledge of the model developer. For example, the weights of a model may be released through one distribution channel and then be distributed through other channels. Distribution channels can be ranked by any reasonable metric (e.g., number of queries, number of downloads, number of users, revenue). A description of the metric should be provided. We define usage data as any form of developer-exclusive data collected from any of a developer's distribution channel. A developer has access to usage data from a distribution channel if it is able to use that data for downstream purposes (e.g., analytics, training etc.). Usage data may be shared outside of the developer, but it is initially collected by the distribution channel and shared to the developer.

Example disclosure:

We have access to usage data through the distribution channels: A, B, and C.
66. Amount of usage (Score: 0)

Score justification:

Unclear how deletions propogate to the model

Indicator notes:

A data retention and deletion policy is a policy for removing particular data from the training set and/or preventing it from being used if there is a user or external request (e.g., “right to be forgotten”) that also covers internal data governance. This includes whether there is a formal process to delete or retract data from future training runs and how long raw data is retained. It also clarifies how quickly deletions propagate to the model (e.g., “only in subsequent major model releases”).

Example disclosure:

We honor verified user requests to delete personal data from our training corpus by removing it from any subsequent scheduled retraining. Our data retention policy ensures chat logs are purged after 90 days.
