## How to Get Started with the Model

Command line interface: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights.  
APIs (OpenAI API, Huggingface API): https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/tree/main#api.  

## Training Details

Vicuna v1.3 is fine-tuned from LLaMA with supervised instruction fine-tuning.
The training data is around 140K conversations collected from ShareGPT.com.
See more details in the "Training Details of Vicuna Models" section in the appendix of this [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05685.pdf).

## Evaluation

Vicuna is evaluated with standard benchmarks, human preference, and LLM-as-a-judge. See more details in this [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05685.pdf).
