What is vicuna-7b?
Vicuna-7B is an advanced open-source chatbot created by fine-tuning the LLaMA architecture on ShareGPT conversations. This particular version, maintained by AlekseyKorshuk, offers an alternative implementation without the ethical filtering present in the original model, making it particularly interesting for research purposes.
Implementation Details
The model is built on an auto-regressive transformer architecture, utilizing the LLaMA framework as its foundation. It has been specifically fine-tuned using 70,000 conversations from ShareGPT, with the distinctive characteristic of omitting the ethical constraints typically present in the original Vicuna implementation. A 4-bit GPTQ quantized version is also available for more efficient deployment.
