Alpaca vs. BLOOM
LLM Comparison
Alpaca
Overview
Alpaca is an instruction-finetuned LLM based off of LLaMA.
The first of many instruct-finetuned versions of LLaMA, Alpaca is an instruction-following model introduced by Stanford researchers. Impressively, with only $600 of compute spend, the researchers demonstrated that on qualitative benchmarks Alpaca performed similarly to OpenAI's text-davinci-003, a significantly larger model.

BLOOM
Overview
BLOOM is a open source LLM developed as part of the BigScience Workshop by Hugging Face in collaboration with other research organizations.
A model proposed during the BigScience Workshop as an open-source alternative to GPT-3, BLOOM has since been superseded by recent models based on Meta's LLaMA model.
