OPT

Open Pre-trained Transformer Language Models (OPT) is part of the family of open source models designed to replicate GPT-3, with similar decoder-only architecture. It has since been superseded by models such as LLaMA, GPT-J, and Pythia.

Orca

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.
