Dolly vs. LLaMA

LLM Comparison

Dolly

Overview

Dolly is an LLM trained using the Databricks machine learning platform. Originally released without instruct-finetuning, Dolly v2 included tuning on the Stanford Alpaca dataset.

Initial release: 2023-03-24

LLaMA

Overview

The model that launched a frenzy in open-source instruct-finetuned models, LLaMA is Meta AI's more parameter-efficient, open-source 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.

Initial release: 2023-02-24
