Alpaca vs. MPT
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.

MPT
Overview
MPT-7B and MPT-30B are a set of models that are part of MosaicML's Foundation Series. Trained on 1T tokens, the developers state that MPT-7B matches the performance of LLaMA while also being open source, while MPT-30B outperforms the original GPT-3. In addition to the base model, the developers also offer MPT-Instruct, MPT-Chat, and MPT-7B-StoryWriter-65k+, the last of which is trained on a context length of 65K tokens.
