StableLM VS KoboldAI-Client

https://mistral.ai/news/announcing-mistral-7b/

looking at the 3b results (here https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableLM#stablelm-alpha-v2 ?), it looks like Mistral (which outperforms Llama-2 13b) is far more powerful

Does this mean Stability gave up on StableLM?

I notice that the repo hasn’t been updated since April, and a question asking for an update has been ignored for at least a month: https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableLM/issues/83

I'm not "ignoring" StableLM, if anything it's the impetus for my post. The alpha models were so bad and unusable that it seems they may have simply abandoned the project. It's clear they basically didn't know what they were doing, which is silly for a company of their size and specialization.

1) StableLM released a checkpoint at 800B for their 3B and 7B at 800B tokens with 4096 context size, but perform very poorly on different benchmarks and finetuning is discouraged with such a weak base model

It is the best open-source model currently available. Falcon-40B outperforms LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.

You can use KoboldAI to run a LLM locally. There are hundreds / thousands of models on hugging face. Some uncensored ones are Pygmalion AI (chatbot), Erebus (story writing AI), or Vicuna (general purpose).

GPT-J 6B is a pretty weak and outdated model. Nerys 13B would probably give you better replies but they lean more towards SFW stuff. Erebus was their best model for erotic roleplay but they removed it as it went against Google's TOS. You can check out their documentation here.

If you do have that kind of hardware, the next step would be looking for what model to run. I came across Kobold's models. Their main github page is here: https://github.com/KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client

Then there are graphical user interfaces like text-generation-webui and gpt4all for general purpose chat. There are also KoboldAI and SillyTavern, they have focus more on storytelling and roleplay and have tools to improve that.

And finally the folks from the KoboldAi do some interesting stuff with Pseudocode and Soft-Prompts that might also be relevant.

Do you believe the problem could be that my KoboldAI is outdated? I did download the one from henk717 at https://github.com/KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client but it was a little while ago.
