Model Details

Model Description

Marketing-Mixtral-8x7B-v3 is a LoRA fine-tuned version of Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1, adapted for marketing copy generation across five task types: ad/social copy, email marketing, product descriptions, brand voice rewriting, and campaign data insights.

This is the second iteration of the Marketing-Mixtral series, trained on an expanded 8,000-row dataset (up from the original 4,300 rows used in Marketing-Mixtral-8x7B v1).

  • Developed by: Sue Huynh
  • Model type: Causal LM, LoRA fine-tuned
  • Language: English
  • License: Apache 2.0
  • Finetuned from: mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
  • Training platform: AutoScientist by Adaption Labs

Model Sources

  • Dataset: suehuynh/marketing-instruct-8k
  • Related model: Marketing-Llama-3.3-70B (trained on an extended 13K version of this dataset, 88% win rate)
  • Challenge: AutoScientist Challenge 2026 — adaptionlabs.ai

Uses

Direct Use

Generate marketing copy from structured briefs across five task types:

  • Ad/Social copy: platform-specific ads with audience and CTA constraints
  • Email marketing: campaign, lifecycle, and transactional emails with subject + preview + body format
  • Product descriptions: grounded in provided attribute lists only
  • Brand voice rewriting: neutral copy rewritten to match a specified voice
  • Table-to-insight: campaign performance data summarized with recommendations

Out-of-Scope Use

  • Not intended for strategy generation, market research, or competitive analysis
  • Not suitable for medical, legal, or financial copywriting without additional fine-tuning
  • Product descriptions should always be reviewed for factual accuracy before publication

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

  • Training data is primarily English-language and Western marketing contexts
  • Despite faithfulness-filtering on product description examples, all generated copy should be human-reviewed before publication
  • Generated copy should not be published without editorial review

Recommendations

Always review generated copy before publication. For product descriptions, verify all claims against the original product specification.

How to Get Started with the Model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel
import torch

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
    load_in_4bit=True,
)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "suehuynh/Marketing-Mixtral-8x7B-v3")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1")

prompt = "Write a product description for an online store listing..."
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
    tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

output = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=200, do_sample=False)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0][inputs.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

Training Details

Training Data

8,000 examples across 5 marketing task types — an expansion of the original 4,300-row dataset with additional sources for table-to-insight, email marketing, and ad copy/brand voice. See suehuynh/marketing-instruct-8k for full documentation.

Training Procedure

Training Hyperparameters

  • Training regime: bf16 mixed precision
  • Algorithm: LoRA (Supervised Fine-Tuning)
  • LoRA rank: 32
  • LoRA alpha: 64
  • LoRA dropout: 0.05
  • Target modules: all-linear
  • Learning rate: 1.5e-4
  • LR scheduler: cosine, warmup ratio 0.05
  • Epochs: 1
  • Weight decay: 0.01
  • Gradient clipping: 1.0
  • Train on inputs: false

Note on epochs: an earlier run on this identical dataset and recipe with n_epochs=3 achieved an 83% win rate. Changing only n_epochs to 1 (holding every other hyperparameter constant) improved the win rate to 87% — a controlled, single-variable result indicating that additional training epochs on this dataset size leads to overfitting and reduced generalization against the base model judge.

Speeds, Sizes, Times

  • Training platform: AutoScientist by Adaption Labs
  • Base model size: 46.7B parameters (Mixtral MoE, ~13B active per token)

Evaluation

Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

Testing Data

Evaluated on AutoScientist's held-out internal marketing test set (not publicly available).

Metrics

Win rate: pairwise LLM-as-judge comparison between finetuned model output and base Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct output on identical prompts.

Results

Metric Base Mixtral Finetuned Delta
Win rate (AS eval) 13% 87% +569% relative

Win Rates

Summary

This model achieves an 87% win rate against base Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct on AutoScientist's held-out marketing test set, up from 80% in v1 (trained on 4,300 rows, 1 epoch).

The most notable finding from this iteration is a controlled, single-variable experiment: on the same 8,000-row dataset with an identical recipe, training for 3 epochs produced 83% win rate, while training for 1 epoch (with no other change) produced 87%. This isolates epoch count as a direct driver of overfitting at this dataset size — more passes over the data degrade generalization against the base model judge rather than improving it.
