BLOOM vs. LLaMA

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A model proposed during the BigScience Workshop as an open-source alternative to GPT-3, BLOOM has since been superseded by recent models based on Meta's LLaMA model.

LLaMA

LLaMA

Overview

LLaMA was previously Meta AI's most performant LLM available for researchers and noncommercial use cases. It has since been succeeded by Llama 2.


The model that launched a frenzy in open-source instruct-finetuned models, LLaMA is Meta AI's more parameter-efficient, open alternative to large commercial LLMs. Despite being smaller than many commercial models, LLaMA outperformed the gold standard GPT-3 on many benchmarks, with the primary drawback being that its access remains gated to researchers with restrictions on commercial use.
