contents In this paper, we present significant advancements in the pretraining of Mistral 7B, a large-scale language model, using a dataset of 32.6 GB, equivalent to 1.1 billion tokens. We explore the impact of extending the context length, releasing models with context lengths of 4096 and 32768 tokens, and further refining performance with a specialized 16384 context length instruction-tuned model, we called it Malaysian Mistral. Our experiments demonstrate the efficacy of continue pretraining and the influence of extended context lengths on Mistral 7B's language understanding capabilities. Additionally, we release a model specifically tuned with a 16384 context length instruction, showcasing its potential for capturing nuanced language intricacies. Furthermore, our research contributes to the benchmarking of Malaysian Mistral against prominent language models, including ChatGPT3.5 and Claude 2. We present compelling results indicating Malaysian Mistral's superior performance on Tatabahasa (Malay grammar) test set, particularly when fine-tuned with instructions.
