Alpaca vs. GPT-J
LLM Comparison
Alpaca
Overview
Alpaca is an instruction-finetuned LLM based off of LLaMA.
The first of many instruct-finetuned versions of LLaMA, Alpaca is an instruction-following model introduced by Stanford researchers. Impressively, with only $600 of compute spend, the researchers demonstrated that on qualitative benchmarks Alpaca performed similarly to OpenAI's text-davinci-003, a significantly larger model.

GPT-J
Overview
GPT-J is a model released by EleutherAI shortly after its release of GPTNeo, with the aim of delveoping an open source model with capabilities similar to OpenAI's GPT-3 model. With a larger size than GPTNeo, GPT-J also performs better on various benchmarks.
Initial release: 2021-06-09
