OpenAssistant is a project organized by LAION with aim of providing an open source alternative to ChatGPT. Its primary effort is to collected instruct examples to then tune existing LLMs. The first major release is available as part of Hugging Face's HuggingChat.
WizardLM is a variant of LLaMA trained with complex instructions.
WizardLM is a LLM based on LLaMA trained using a new method, called Evol-Instruct, on complex instruction data. By using AI to "evolve" instructions, WizardLM outperforms similar LLaMA-based LLMs trained on simpler instruction data. On the 6th of July, 2023, WizardLM V1.1 was released with significantly improved performance, and as of 15 April 2024, WizardLM-2 was released with state-of-the-art performance.
