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 instruction-tuned variant. [5]

At the time of its release, DBRX outperformed other prominent open-source models such as Meta's LLaMA 2, Mistral AI's Mixtral, and xAI's Grok, in several benchmarks ranging from language understanding, programming ability and mathematics. [4] [6] [7]

It was trained for 2.5 months [7] on 3,072 Nvidia H100s connected by 3.2 terabytes per second bandwidth (InfiniBand), for a training cost of $10m USD. [1]
