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.
Orca is a descendant of LLaMA developed by Microsoft with finetuning on explanation traces obtained from GPT-4.
Orca-13B is a LLM developed by Microsoft. It is based on LLaMA with finetuning on complex explanation traces obtained from GPT-4. By using rich signals, Orca surpasses the performance of models such as Vicuna-13B on complex tasks. However, given its model backbone and the data used for its finetuning, Orca is under noncommercial use.
