AI21: Jamba Mini 1.7

Jamba Large 1.7 is the latest model in the Jamba open family, offering improvements in grounding, instruction-following, and overall efficiency. Built on a hybrid SSM-Transformer architecture with a 256K context window, it delivers more accurate, contextually grounded responses and better steerability than previous versions.

AI21 Jamba Large 1.6 is a high-performance hybrid foundation model combining State Space Models (Mamba) with Transformer attention mechanisms. Developed by AI21, it excels in extremely long-context handling (256K tokens), demonstrates superior inference efficiency (up to 2.5x faster than comparable models), and supports structured JSON output and tool-use capabilities. It has 94 billion active parameters (398 billion total), optimized quantization support (ExpertsInt8), and multilingual proficiency in languages such as English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, German, Arabic, and Hebrew.

Usage of this model is subject to the Jamba Open Model License.

AI21 Jamba Mini 1.6 is a hybrid foundation model combining State Space Models (Mamba) with Transformer attention mechanisms. With 12 billion active parameters (52 billion total), this model excels in extremely long-context tasks (up to 256K tokens) and achieves superior inference efficiency, outperforming comparable open models on tasks such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and grounded question answering. Jamba Mini 1.6 supports multilingual tasks across English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, German, Arabic, and Hebrew, along with structured JSON output and tool-use capabilities.
