gorilla VS open_llama

Do you leverage https://gorilla.cs.berkeley.edu/ at all? If not, perhaps consider if it would solve some pain for you.

* Gorilla [https://github.com/ShishirPatil/gorilla]

Could be interesting to try some of these exercises with these models.

Nice this made me go back and check up on the Gorilla LLM project [1] to see whats they are doing with API and if they have applied their fine tuning to any of the newer foundation models but looks like things have slowed down since they launched (?) or maybe development is happening elsewhere on some invisible discord channel but I hope the intersection of API calling and LLM as a logic processing function keep getting focus it's an important direction for interop across the web.

"Gorilla: Large Language Model Connected with Massive APIs" (2023) https://gorilla.cs.berkeley.edu/ :

> Gorilla enables LLMs to use tools by invoking APIs. Given a natural language query, Gorilla comes up with the semantically- and syntactically- correct API to invoke. With Gorilla, we are the first to demonstrate how to use LLMs to invoke 1,600+ (and growing) API calls accurately while reducing hallucination. We also release APIBench, the largest collection of APIs, curated and easy to be trained on! Join us, as we try to expand the largest API store and teach LLMs how to write them!

Humans of AI Podcast #7

An amazing conversation with Shishir Patil the creator of the Gorilla LLM, a large language model specifically trained to use APIs!

Shishir is currently a 5th year PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley whose work broadly covers ML-Systems, LLMs, Edge-ML, and Sky computing.

Definitely give the episode a listen to hear Shishir's story.

The RedPajama dataset was adapted by the OpenLLaMA project at UC Berkeley, creating an open-source LLaMA equivalent without Meta’s restrictions. The model's later version also included data from Falcon and StarCoder. This highlights the importance of open-source models and datasets, enabling free repurposing and innovation.

OpenLLaMA is though. https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama

All of these are surmountable problems.

We can beat OpenAI.

We can drain their moat.

Trained OpenLLaMA models are from the OpenLM Research team in collaboration with Stability AI: https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama

I can't use Llama or any model from the Llama family, due to license restrictions. Although now there's also the OpenLlama family of models, which have the same architecture but were trained on an open dataset (RedPajama, the same dataset the base model in my app was trained on). I'd love to pursue the direction of extended context lengths for on-device LLMs. Likely in a month or so, when I've implemented all the product feature that I currently have on my backlog.

https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama#update-0615202...).

XGen-7B is probably the superior 7B model, it's trained on more tokens and a longer default sequence length (although both presumably can adopt SuperHOT (Position Interpolation) to extend context), but larger models still probably perform better on an absolute basis.

Compare it to openllama. It github doesn't have a single script on how to do anything.

OpenLLaMA models up to 13B parameters have now been trained on 1T tokens:

https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama

The deployed LLM binary, orca mini, has 3 billion parameters. Orca mini is based on the OpenLLaMA project.

OpenLM Research released its 1T token version of OpenLLaMA 13B - the permissively licensed open source reproduction of Meta AI's LLaMA large language model. [Details].
