We explored the capabilities of Mistral-7B, a generalistic open-source Large Language Model (LLM). We developed a prompt for the NLI4CT task, and fine-tuning a quantized version of the model using a slightly augmented version of the training dataset. The experimental results show that this approach can produce notable results in terms of the macro F1-score, while having limitations in terms of faithfulness and consistency. All the developed code is publicly available on a GitHub repository.
