Model on AWS
Deploy Mistral 7B Instruct v0.2 on AWS
The general-purpose default — long documents, multi-turn support, RAG answers. ForgeStack runs mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 as a private LLM API in your own AWS account: an g5.xlarge node serving it with llama.cpp, a knowledge base in your S3 bucket, and a chat endpoint with citations.

What you get when you deploy Mistral 7B Instruct v0.2
- Model node: a dedicated g5.xlarge (GPU) in the region you pick, serving mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf from TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF with llama.cpp.
- Chat API: POST /api/{projectId}/chat with a scoped x-api-key, returning chat.completion-shaped responses with source citations.
- Knowledge base (RAG): upload documents or sync GitHub, Confluence and Jira; they are stored and indexed inside your stack.
- LoRA fine-tuning on your own question/answer pairs, on the same node.
- Human handoff to Slack, Teams, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, email or a webhook when the model can’t answer. See chatbot integrations.
How to deploy it
- Create a ForgeStack account and pick Mistral 7B Instruct v0.2 from the catalog.
- Connect AWS with IAM Identity Center or a cross-account role. ForgeStack only gets a short-lived STS session.
- Set a system prompt and turn on retrieval.
- Review and download the generated CloudFormation template.
- Apply it. The stack goes live once the model node passes its health check.
What it costs
About $750 a month in us-east-1 for an always-on node, paid to AWS directly: the g5.xlarge instance, its root volume and one VPC endpoint. ForgeStack itself is free to prototype and adds no markup. Delete the stack and the charges stop.
