**NOTE: New version available**
Please check out a newer version of the weights [here](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3).
If you still want to use this old version, please see the compatibility and difference between different versions [here](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/blob/main/docs/vicuna_weights_version.md).
**NOTE: This "delta model" cannot be used directly.**
Users have to apply it on top of the original LLaMA weights to get actual Vicuna weights. See [instructions](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/blob/main/docs/vicuna_weights_version.md#how-to-apply-delta-weights-for-weights-v11-and-v0).
