Dolly

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.

Pythia

The most recent (as of May 2023) effort from EleutherAI, Pythia is a set of LLMs trained on The Pile. While it appears to outperform OPT and GPTNeo, its performance against GPT-J is unclear. Versions of Pythia have also been instruct-tuned by the team at Together.
