The first MistralAI hackathon, held in San Francisco, concluded with significant achievements, including a team successfully training the 7B open-source model to play DOOM using an ASCII representation of the game's current frame. The event, which saw over 2000 hackers apply, featured various projects such as optimizing prompts through tests, developing a Mistral-powered search engine for machine learning research, and programming Mistral to play Pac-Man. The project to run DOOM on large language models (LLMs), developed with @hopingtocode, Paul Chu, and fine-tuned on @FireworksAI_HQ, clinched the first place in the fine-tuning track, highlighting the potential of Mistral-7B in game-playing applications. MistralAI expressed gratitude to all participants and showcased the winners, emphasizing the hackathon's success, its role in fostering innovation in open-source large language models, and the distribution of $10k in prizes.
Mistral AI is what OpenAI would be if it were actually open. And they just threw the largest OSS LLM hackathon to date. Over 2000 hackers applied to compete for $10k in prizes. Hereβs what we saw at the @MistralAI x @cerebral_valley hackathon (π§΅): https://t.co/s1eO53wY4Z
Our project to run DOOM on LLMs won π₯ place in the finetuning track the @MistralAI hackathon. Yes, there are better approaches you could use to train a game playing agent, but we just HAD to find out if Mistral-7B could run DOOM. More details on what we did..
The first @MistralAI hackathon was a success, thank you to all participants! Here are the winners (links in thread): - Fine-tuned Mistral 7B playing DOOM - Optimize prompts through tests - Mistral-powered search engine for ML research - Mistral playing Pac-Man https://t.co/ldtn2ewrir
We built an llm that can run doom at the @MistralAI hackathon. Built with @hopingtocode, Paul chu and finetuned on @FireworksAI_HQ https://t.co/AramfzztwX
π« Badass! A team at the @MistralAI hackathon in SF trained the 7B open-source model to play DOOM, based on an ASCII representation of the current frame in the game. π€― @ID_AA_Carmack https://t.co/B2Tn8WPX1x
