# MiniLLM-Llama-7B

[paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.08543) | [code](https://github.com/microsoft/LMOps/tree/main/minillm)

**MiniLLM-Llama-7B** is a Llama-7B model distilled from [Llama-13B](https://huggingface.co/MiniLLM/teacher-Llama-13B) on [databricks-dolly-15k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aisquared/databricks-dolly-15k)

</p>

**Note**: MiniLLM requires an [SFT model](https://huggingface.co/MiniLLM/init-Llama-7B) for initilization to perform the PPO optimization.

## Evaluation

We ask GPT-4 to give scores for the generated responses of MiniLLM. The prompts are taken from [databricks-dolly-15k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aisquared/databricks-dolly-15k) (test set), [self-instruct](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca/blob/main/alpaca_data.json), and [vicuna](https://github.com/lm-sys/vicuna-blog-eval)
