LLaMA vs. MPT-7B

LLM Comparison

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.

MPT-7B

Overview

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