palmer

a better base model

palmer is a series of ~1b parameters language models fine-tuned to be used as base models instead of using custom prompts for tasks. This means that it can be further fine-tuned on more data with custom prompts as usual or be used for downstream tasks as any base model you can get. The model has the best of both worlds: some "bias" to act as an assistant, but also the abillity to predict the next-word from its internet knowledge base. It's a 1.1b llama 2 model so you can use it with your favorite tools/frameworks.

This model shows exceptional performance and as of now is the best tinyllama-size base model. Furthermore, this proves LIMA paper point and serves as a good open-source alternative to openai's babbage-002.

training 🦾

Training took ~3.5 P100 gpu hours. It was trained on 15,000 gpt-4 shuffled samples. palmer was fine-tuned using lower learning rates ensuring it keeps as much general knowledge as possible.
