alpaca.cpp VS stanford_alpaca

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.

Alpaca is an instruction-oriented LLM derived from LLaMA, enhanced by Stanford researchers with a dataset of 52,000 examples of following instructions, sourced from OpenAI’s InstructGPT through the self-instruct method. The extensive self-instruct dataset, details of data generation, and the model refinement code were publicly disclosed. This model complies with the licensing requirements of its base model. Due to the utilization of InstructGPT for data generation, it also adheres to OpenAI’s usage terms, which prohibit the creation of models competing with OpenAI. This illustrates how dataset restrictions can indirectly affect the resulting fine-tuned model.

In this article, we're going to experiment with LoRA and fine-tune Llama Alpaca using commercial hardware.

Most papers I did read showed at least a thousand, even 10000 at several cases, so I assumed that to be the trend in the case of Low rank adapter(PEFT) training.(source: [2305.14314] QLoRA: Efficient Finetuning of Quantized LLMs (arxiv.org) , Stanford CRFM (Alpaca) and the minimum being openchat/openchat · Hugging Face ; There are a lot more examples)

I'm not talking about OpenAI ChatGPT I'm talking about things ALPACA, and where did they train these models? Off the existing models for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the cost: https://crfm.stanford.edu/2023/03/13/alpaca.html

I think there's a new approach for “How do you get the data?” that wasn't available when this article was written in 2015. The new text and image generative models can now be used to synthesize training datasets.

I was working on an typing autocorrect project and needed a corpus of "text messages". Most of the traditional NLP corpuses like those available through NLTK [0] aren't suitable. But it was easy to script ChatGPT to generate thousands of believable text messages by throwing random topics at it.

Similarly, you can synthesize a training dataset by giving GPT the outputs/labels and asking it to generate a variety of inputs. For sentiment analysis... "Give me 1000 negative movie reviews" and "Now give me 1000 positive movie reviews".

The Alpaca folks used GPT-3 to generate high-quality instruction-following datasets [1] based on a small set of human samples.

Etc.

AFAIK, the original alpaca repo was a full finetune. https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca
