StableLM VS simpleAI

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.

Not related to my own project SimpleAI despite the name, but looks like we can easily make the two work together, to keep it « simple ». Nice work!

Using this as an opportunity to mention my own related project, perhaps it can end up on your nice list one day. :)

You could have a look at a project I’ve been working on, SimpleAI, doing exactly this by replicating the OpenAI endpoints (you can then use their JS client for integration). Adding StableLM should be straightforward, I plan to add it to the examples in the upcoming days once I have a bit of time.

I’ve built SimpleAI with exactly these kinds of use cases in mind. That should allow supporting any model with minimal / no change to your project. Good job and good luck with LoopGPT, that looks nice!

I don't know if this applies to your use case but this would probably work if you are looking for an llm to help with programming. Haven't really played around with it but this may work for general llm tasks, it doesn't have a web UI though.

As per llama.cpp specifically, you can indeed add any model, it's just a matter of doing a bit of glue code and declaring it in your models.toml config. It's quite straightforward thanks to some provided tools for Python (see here for instance). For any other language it's a matter of integrating it through the gRPC interface (which shouldn't be too hard for Llama.cpp if you're comfortable in C++). I'm planning to also add support for REST for model in the backend at some point too.

Shameless plug but I’ve been recently working on SimpleAI, a project replicating the main endpoints from OpenAI API, allowing you to seamlessly switch from their API to your own one, as it’s compatible with OpenAI client.

I wanted to share with you SimpleAI, a self-hosted alternative to OpenAI API.
