The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Questions about memory, tree-of-thought, planning
Most LLMs actually do a decent job out of the box if you ask them for step by step instructions. Tree of tough is one way to improve the results, reflexion is another that can be used separate or additionally. The downside is that most models will run quickly into their token limit (around 2k for most). However the new SuperHot models can handle up to 8k and then there are the RMVK-Raven models, they are RNNs and not transformers like all the other LLMs and can theoretically handle infinite context lengths (but they loose "focus" after a while).

KoboldCpp - Combining all the various ggml.cpp CPU LLM inference projects with a WebUI and API (formerly llamacpp-for-kobold)
I'm most interested in that last one. I think I heard the RWKV models are very fast, don't need much Ram, and can have huge context tokens, so maybe their 14b can work for me. I wasn't sure how ready for use they were though, but looking more into it, stuff like rwkv.cpp and ChatRWKV and a whole lot of other community projects are mentioned on their github.
- I created a simple implementation of the RWKV language model (RWKV competes with the dominant Transformers-based approach which is the "T" in GPT)

[P] Raven 7B & 14B 🐦(RWKV finetuned on Alpaca+CodeAlpaca+Guanaco) and Gradio Demo for Raven 7B
You can use ChatRWKV v2 (https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV) to run Raven🐦 (compatible with vanilla RWKV):

What's the current state of actually free and open source LLMs?
I feel compelled to summon /u/bo_peng here and to mention his work on RWKV. (See https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV and related repos.)

How to Finetune Llama 2: A Beginner's Guide
In this blog post, I want to make it as simple as possible to fine-tune the LLaMA 2 - 7B model, using as little code as possible. We will be using the Alpaca Lora Training script, which automates the process of fine-tuning the model and for GPU we will be using Beam.

Newbie here - trying to install a Alpaca Lora and hitting an error
Hi all - relatively new to GitHub / programming in general, and I wanted to try to set up Alpaca Lora locally. Following the guide here: https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora

A simple repo for fine-tuning LLMs with both GPTQ and bitsandbytes quantization. Also supports ExLlama for inference for the best speed.
Follow up the popular work of u/tloen alpaca-lora, I wrapped the setup of alpaca_lora_4bit to add support for GPTQ training in form of installable pip packages. You can perform training and inference with multiple quantizations method to compare the results.

Converting to GGML?
If instead you want to apply a LoRa to a pytorch model, a lot of people use this script to apply to LoRa to the 16 bit model and then quantize it with a GPTQ program afterwards https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/blob/main/export_hf_checkpoint.py

Simple LLM Watermarking - Open Lllama 3b LORA
There are a few papers on watermarking LLM output, but from what I have seen they all use complex methods of detection to allow the watermark to go unseen by the end user, only to be detected by algorithm. I believe that a more overt system of watermarking might also be beneficial. One simple method that I have tried is character substitution. For this model, I LORA finetuned openlm-research/open_llama_3b on the alpaca_data_cleaned_archive.json dataset from https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/ modified by replacing all instances of the "." character in the outputs with a "ι" The results are pretty good, with the correct the correct substitutions being generated by the model in most cases. It doesn't always work, but this was only a LORA training and for two epochs of 400 steps each, and 100% substitution isn't really required.

text-generation-webui's "Train Only After" option
I am kind of new to finetuning LLM's and am not able to understand what this option exactly refers to. I guess it has the same meaning as the "train_on_inputs" parameter of alpacalora though.
