BLOOM vs. Koala

LLM Comparison


BLOOM

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A model proposed during the BigScience Workshop as an open-source alternative to GPT-3, BLOOM has since been superseded by recent models based on Meta's LLaMA model.

Koala

Koala

Overview

Released alongside Vicuna, Koala is one of many descendants of the Meta LLaMA model trained on dialogue data collected from the web. On the developers' benchmarks, Koala outperforms its sibling Alpaca, though its adoption has been significantly less than that of its other sibling, Vicuna. Due to its use of LLaMA, only research use is permitted.
