open_llama VS llama.cpp

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:

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].

Have just done this recently for local chat with pdf feature in https://recurse.chat. (It's a macOS app that has built-in llama.cpp server and local vector database)

Running an embedding server locally is pretty straightforward:

Ah, thanks for this! I can't edit my parent comment that you replied to any longer unfortunately.

As I said, I only compared the contributors graphs [0] and checked for overlaps. But those apparently only go back about year and only list at most 100 contributors ranked by number of commits.

KodiBot is a desktop app that enables users to run their own AI chat assistants locally and offline on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. KodiBot is a standalone app and does not require an internet connection or additional dependencies to run local chat assistants. It supports both Llama.cpp compatible models and OpenAI API.

There are already some implementations out there which attempt to accomplish this!

Here's an example: https://github.com/silphendio/sliced_llama

A gist pertaining to said example: https://gist.github.com/silphendio/535cd9c1821aa1290aa10d587...

Here's a discussion about integrating this capability with ExLlama: https://github.com/turboderp/exllamav2/pull/275

And same as above but for llama.cpp: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/4718#issuecomm...

For those who might not be aware of this, there is also an open source project on GitHub called "Twinny" which is an offline Visual Studio Code plugin equivalent to Copilot: https://github.com/rjmacarthy/twinny

It can be used with a number of local model services. Currently for my setup on a NVIDIA 4090, I'm running both the base and instruct model for deepseek-coder 6.7b using 5_K_M Quantization GGUF files (for performance) through llama.cpp "server" where the base model is for completions and the instruct model for chat interactions.
