Usage
Basic chat completion
This is an example of a basic chat completion request using this model:
curl http://endpoint-url/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "stream": true, "model": "casperhansen/mistral-small-24b-instruct-2501-awq", "max_tokens": 1024, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Name the european capitals"} ]}'Tool Calling example
This is an example of a tool calling request using this model:
curl http://endpoint-url/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "stream": true, "model": "casperhansen/mistral-small-24b-instruct-2501-awq", "max_tokens": 1024, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant with access to tools."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is the weather in London?"} ], "tools": [ { "type": "function", "function": { "name": "get_weather", "description": "Get the current weather for a location", "parameters": { "type": "object", "properties": { "location": { "type": "string", "description": "The city and state" } }, "required": ["location"] } } } ]}'Multimodal (text + image) example
This is an example of a multimodal request using this model:
curl http://endpoint-url/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "stream": true, "model": "casperhansen/mistral-small-24b-instruct-2501-awq", "max_tokens": 1024, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": [ {"type": "text", "text": "What is in this image?"}, {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}} ]} ]}'Performance
The model has been quantized using AWQ, resulting in a 50% reduction in model size while maintaining performance. It supports a large context window of 32,000 tokens, making it suitable for processing long documents and maintaining context in conversations.
Running with Edge Functions:
This is an example of how to use this model with Edge Functions:
const modelResponse = await Azion.AI.run("casperhansen-mistral-small-24b-instruct-2501-awq", { "stream": true, "max_tokens": 1024, "messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Name the european capitals" } ]})JSON schema
