LLM Comparison


Alpaca

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.

Gemma

Gemma

Overview

Gemma is a family of lightweight open models from Google built using the same processes used for the the larger Gemini models.


Gemma is a family of open models from Google -- 2B and 7B-parameter models, as of February 2024 -- intended for developers and compute-constrained devices. Despite their size, Gemma models compare favorably to other models of the same size such as the Mistral 7B model.
