What is flan-alpaca-xl?
Flan-Alpaca-XL is an advanced instruction-tuned language model that combines the strengths of Google's Flan and Stanford's Alpaca training methodologies. This 3B parameter model represents a significant step forward in creating more accessible and efficient language models that can understand and follow complex instructions.
Implementation Details
The model is built upon the T5 architecture and has been fine-tuned using a combination of high-quality instruction data from the Flan collection and synthetic data from the Alpaca project. It's optimized for text generation tasks and can be easily deployed using the Hugging Face Transformers library.
