About

WizardLM-2 8x22B is a large mixture-of-experts language model released by Microsoft in April 2024, built on the Mixtral 8x22B architecture with roughly 141 billion total parameters. It was trained with Microsoft's WizardLM instruction-tuning pipeline, which emphasizes complex, multi-step instructions and agentic-style task completion.

The model offers a 65.5K token context window and ships with open weights on Hugging Face. It landed as one of the strongest open MoE chat models of early 2024, frequently benchmarked against contemporaries like DeepSeek and the GLM series. Exact license terms should be checked on the model card before production use.
