Alpaca Reviews

Alpaca Description

Instruction-following models such as GPT-3.5 (text-DaVinci-003), ChatGPT, Claude, and Bing Chat have become increasingly powerful. These models are now used by many users, and some even for work. However, despite their widespread deployment, instruction-following models still have many deficiencies: they can generate false information, propagate social stereotypes, and produce toxic language. It is vital that the academic community engages in order to make maximum progress towards addressing these pressing issues. Unfortunately, doing research on instruction-following models in academia has been difficult, as there is no easily accessible model that comes close in capabilities to closed-source models such as OpenAI's text-DaVinci-003. We are releasing our findings about an instruction-following language model, dubbed Alpaca, which is fine-tuned from Meta's LLaMA 7B model.
