Alpaca vs. StableVicuna

LLM Comparison


Alpaca

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.
