Eversince Nov 2022, as Microsoft and OpenAI accounted ChatGTP the LLM space has been revolutionized and democratized. The demand to adopt the technology and apply it to the diverse use cases across…
We’ve done a lot of looking over our shoulders at OpenAI. Who will cross the next milestone? What will the next move be?
But the uncomfortable truth is, we aren’t positioned to win this arms race and neither is OpenAI. While we’ve been squabbling, a third faction has been quietly eating our lunch.
I’m talking, of course, about open source. Plainly put, they are lapping us. Things we consider “major open problems” are solved and in people’s hands today.
OpenChat is a series of open-source language models fine-tuned on a diverse and high-quality dataset of multi-round conversations. With only ~6K GPT-4 conversations filtered from the ~90K ShareGPT conversations, OpenChat is designed to achieve high performance with limited data.
We introduce Vicuna-13B, an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. Preliminary evaluation using GPT-4 as a judge shows Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90%* quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90%* of cases. The cost of training Vicuna-13B is around $300. The code and weights, along with an online demo, are publicly available for non-commercial use.
