WizardLM-2 8x22B
WizardLM-2 8x22B is a previous Microsoft Wizard snapshot, not a 2026 default open chat model. Hugging Face still has community mirrors such as lucyknada/microsoft_WizardLM-2-8x22B.
Compare leftover WizardLM-2 7B if you wanted the leftover smaller twin already rewritten as previous, leftover Mistral 7B Instruct if you wanted another leftover Mixtral-era chat path, and Gemma 4 26B A4B if you wanted a current open path.
Key Features
- Previous Mixtral-era Wizard snapshot: older copy treated 8x22B as Microsoft's current Wizard flagship.
- Not a 2026 census: Do not keep leftover most-advanced / SoTA open claims unless you re-run a first-party card.
- Community mirrors still exist: Confirm Hugging Face before you hard-code a host.
- No invented dollar row: Confirm first-party hosting before you quote a price.
Use Cases
- People with a WizardLM-2 8x22B bookmark who need the leftover latest copy dropped.
- People who were about to paste a SoTA open crown into a 2026 deck.
Limitation: We did not re-run a Wizard bench or invent a 2026 dollar row.
