I'm an avid Marques fan, but for me, he didn't have to make that vid. It was just a set of comparisons. No new info. No interesting discussion. Instead he should've just shared that Wired podcast episode on his X.

I wonder if Apple is making their own large language model (llm) and it'll be released this year or next year. Or are they still musing re the cost-benefit analysis? If they think that an Apple llm won't earn that much profit, they may not make 1.

Vicuna v1.5 Has Been Released!

Shoutout to GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml for catching this in an earlier post.

Given Vicuna was a widely appreciated member of the original Llama series, it'll be exciting to see this model evolve and adapt with fresh datasets and new training and fine-tuning approaches.

Feel free using this megathread to chat about Vicuna and any of your experiences with Vicuna v1.5!

Model Details

Vicuna is a chat assistant fine-tuned from Llama 2 on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT.

Developed by: LMSYS

• Model type: An auto-regressive language model based on the transformer architecture
• License: Llama 2 Community License Agreement
• Finetuned from model: Llama 2

Model Sources

• Repository: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat
• Blog: https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-03-30-vicuna/
• Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.05685
• Demo: https://chat.lmsys.org/

Uses

The primary use of Vicuna is for research on large language models and chatbots. The target userbase includes researchers and hobbyists interested in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

How to Get Started with the Model

• Command line interface: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights
• APIs (OpenAI API, Huggingface API): https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/tree/main#api

Training Details

Vicuna v1.5 is fine-tuned from Llama 2 using supervised instruction. The model was trained on approximately 125K conversations from ShareGPT.com.

For additional details, please refer to the "Training Details of Vicuna Models" section in the appendix of the linked paper.

Evaluation Results

Vicuna is evaluated using standard benchmarks, human preferences, and LLM-as-a-judge. For more detailed results, please refer to the paper and leaderboard.

I noticed there didn't seem to be a community about large language models, akin to r/localllama. So maybe this will be it.

For the uninitiated, you can easily try a bleeding edge LLM in your browser here.
