Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 vs Mistral-Small-Instruct-2409

Mistral AI's latest model introduces key changes that make it more efficient than the Mistral-Small from September. By **reducing the number of layers** and **decreasing the hidden size**, they have optimized both memory usage and computational efficiency, resulting in faster inference and improved overall performance. *However, they also significantly increased the intermediate size, likely enhancing expressivity while maintaining faster inference overall.*
