TLDR: Salesforce has trained a series of 7 billion language models (LLMs) called XGen-7B with up to 8,000 tokens per sequence. These models achieve comparable or better results than other open-source LLMs on standard benchmarks, and the 8K-seq models outperform the 2K- and 4K-seq models in long sequence modeling. XGen-7B performs well in both text […]
Today, OpenOrca, an open-source dataset and series of instruct-tuned language models, is being announced. The inspiration for this project came from reading the Orca paper by Mukherjee et. al. of Microsoft, which showcased some impressive research. However, it was uncertain whether Microsoft would release the dataset, so the decision was made to replicate their efforts […]
