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A model proposed during the BigScience Workshop as an open-source alternative to GPT-3, BLOOM has since been superseded by recent models based on Meta's LLaMA model.

Overview

MPT-7B and MPT-30B are a set of models that are part of MosaicML's Foundation Series. Trained on 1T tokens, the developers state that MPT-7B matches the performance of LLaMA while also being open source, while MPT-30B outperforms the original GPT-3. In addition to the base model, the developers also offer MPT-Instruct, MPT-Chat, and MPT-7B-StoryWriter-65k+, the last of which is trained on a context length of 65K tokens.
