Llama 2 vs. Pythia

LLM Comparison


Llama 2

Llama 2

Overview

Llama 2 is Meta AI's open source LLM available for both research and commercial use cases (assuming you're not one of the top consumer companies in the world).


The successor to LLaMA (henceforce "Llama 1"), Llama 2 was trained on 40% more data, has double the context length, and was tuned on a large dataset of human preferences (over 1 million such annotations) to ensure helpfulness and safety. It outperforms other open source models on both natural language understanding datasets as well as in head-to-head face-offs.

Pythia

Pythia

Overview

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.
