  • TinyLlama

    The TinyLlama project is an open endeavor to pretrain a 1.1B Llama model on 3 trillion tokens.

  • Small models: Less than ~1B parameters. TinyLlama and tinydolphin are examples of small models.

  • gemma

    Open weights LLM from Google DeepMind.

  • Medium models: Roughly between 1B to 10B parameters. This is where Mistral 7B, Phi-3, Gemma from Google DeepMind, and wizardlm2 sit. Fun fact: GPT 2 was a medium sized model, much smaller than its latest versions.

  • gpt-2

    Code for the paper "Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners"

  • Medium models: Roughly between 1B to 10B parameters. This is where Mistral 7B, Phi-3, Gemma from Google DeepMind, and wizardlm2 sit. Fun fact: GPT 2 was a medium sized model, much smaller than its latest versions.

  • gpt-3

    Discontinued GPT-3: Language Models are Few-Shot Learners

  • Large models: Everything above 10B of parameters. This is where Llama 3, Llama 2, Mistral 8x22B, GPT 3, and most likely GPT 4 sit.
