70 Billion Parameter Model Fine-tuned on Chat Completions

Comparing Llama 2 Models: 7B, 13B, and 70B

Lama 2 7B: Swift but Limited

Llama 2 7B excels in speed but may lack depth in certain tasks. Its smaller size makes it efficient but limits its capabilities in handling complex or nuanced conversations.

Mistral 7B: Adaptable and Performant

Mistral 7B stands out for its adaptability and performs well across various benchmarks. It can handle a wider range of tasks and adapt to different contexts more effectively than Llama 2 7B.

Llama 2 13B: Balanced Performance

Llama 2 13B offers a balance between speed and depth. It performs better than 7B in handling complex conversations and generating longer, more coherent responses, while still maintaining a relatively fast inference time.

Holistic Evaluation: Comparing 7B and 13B

A comprehensive evaluation across our four pillars suggests that Mistral 7B models generally surpass Llama 2 13B models. However, Llama 2 13B may excel in specific tasks or domains.

Variations in Parameter Sizes

Llama 2 offers flexibility with parameter sizes ranging from 7B to 13B and 70B. The larger models are capable of handling even more complex tasks but require more computational resources.

Introduction of a Family of LLMs

The Llama 2 release introduces a family of pretrained and fine-tuned LLMs that cater to a wide range of applications. Researchers and developers can choose the most appropriate model size and fine-tuning for their specific needs.
