ChatRWKV VS alpaca.cpp

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).

RWKV models inference: https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV (fast CUDA).

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.

You can use ChatRWKV v2 (https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV) to run Raven🐦 (compatible with vanilla RWKV):

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.)

Please test https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV which is a good chatbot despite only trained on the Pile :)

Where's the 30B-in-6GB claim? ^FGB in your GH link finds [0] which is neither by jart nor by ggerganov but by another user who promptly gets told to look at [1] where Justine denies that claim.

You can just download the language model, dude!!! Everyone doesn’t need to make their own and the open source models literally get better every day.

Alpaca

Square could have also trained a more specific data source for their NLP, very similar to Alpaca. Alpaca was trained from interactions from a larger dataset. So while it isn't as smart, it's still able to understand instructions and act upon them.

The model I found was in 8 parts. The alpaca.cpp chat client (chat.cpp) needs to be modified to run the 8 part model, documented here: https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp/issues/149

try the instructions on this github repo https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp, its not the best one but I was able to run this model on my linux machine with 16GB memory, I think its a good starting point.

Doesn't run offline. If you're running something without a beefy-ish GPU, there's https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp .

Ye, atm. toying with alpaca 7B/13B in a local install.
