Llama 2 vs. GPT4All

We are excited to unveil the latest version of our open-source large language model, which includes model weights and initial code for the pretrained and fine-tuned Llama language models, ranging from 7 billion to 70 billion parameters. The Llama 2 pretrained models have been crafted using a remarkable 2 trillion tokens and boast double the context length compared to the first iteration, Llama 1. Additionally, the fine-tuned models have been refined through the insights gained from over 1 million human annotations. Llama 2 showcases outstanding performance compared to various other open-source language models across a wide array of external benchmarks, particularly excelling in reasoning, coding abilities, proficiency, and knowledge assessments. For its training, Llama 2 leveraged publicly available online data sources, while the fine-tuned variant, Llama-2-chat, integrates publicly accessible instruction datasets alongside the extensive human annotations mentioned earlier. Our project is backed by a robust coalition of global stakeholders who are passionate about our open approach to AI, including companies that have offered valuable early feedback and are eager to collaborate with us on Llama 2. The enthusiasm surrounding Llama 2 not only highlights its advancements but also marks a significant transformation in the collaborative development and application of AI technologies. This collective effort underscores the potential for innovation that can emerge when the community comes together to share resources and insights.

GPT4All is an all-encompassing system aimed at the training and deployment of sophisticated large language models that can function effectively on typical consumer-grade CPUs. Its main goal is clear: to position itself as the premier instruction-tuned assistant language model available for individuals and businesses, allowing them to access, share, and build upon it without limitations. The models within GPT4All vary in size from 3GB to 8GB, making them easily downloadable and integrable into the open-source GPT4All ecosystem. Nomic AI is instrumental in sustaining and supporting this ecosystem, ensuring high quality and security while enhancing accessibility for both individuals and organizations wishing to train and deploy their own edge-based language models. The importance of data is paramount, serving as a fundamental element in developing a strong, general-purpose large language model. To support this, the GPT4All community has created an open-source data lake, acting as a collaborative space for users to contribute important instruction and assistant tuning data, which ultimately improves future training for models within the GPT4All framework. This initiative not only stimulates innovation but also encourages active participation from users in the development process, creating a vibrant community focused on enhancing language technologies. By fostering such an environment, GPT4All aims to redefine the landscape of accessible AI.
