Alpaca vs. GPTNeo

LLM Comparison

Alpaca

Overview

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.

Initial release: 2023-03-13

GPTNeo

Overview

GPTNeo is a model released by EleutherAI to try and provide an open source model with capabilities similar to OpenAI's GPT-3 model. One of the earliest such models, GPTNeo was trained on The Pile, Eleuther's corpus of web text.

Initial release: 2021-03-21
