       | I don't mean to be negative but - has anyone at all found a use
       | for any of the 7B models? And are you only using it because
       | you're resource constrained? Or is it a purely academic thing for
       | the moment?
       | 
       | This model is all over the place in the benchmarks, it looks
       | roughly comparable to llama, and I know it's open to use unlike
       | llama. But I haven't seen a model under 30B consistent enough to
       | actually use for anything myself.
       | 
       | Hopefully the improved dataset will improve the next version, I
       | truly want small models to work well, I'm sure it time it will
       | improve.
       | 
       | EDIT: I mean this isn't even a trick question: "There are two
       | shapes each a different color, one shape is red and one shape is
       | blue. Shape A is red. Shape B must be what color?"
       | 
       | > This logic puzzle is based on a classic riddle that has been
       | passed down for generations. The answer, of course, is that Shape
       | B must be a red shape, as red is the only color that can be used
       | to represent all reds.
       | 
       | > The key to solving the puzzle is to recognize that red can be
       | used to describe color as well as blood, which is another word
       | for shape.
       | 
       | What ????
       | 
       | EDIT 2: GPT3.5-turbo says "there's no definitive color for shape
       | B"
       | 
       | Only GPT4 gets this right, "Since shape A is red, and the other
       | shape is blue, shape B must be blue."
       | 
       | I have no idea how they struggle on this.

         | I'd say at this size don't count on accuracy. Think: fancy

         | this model here being you can use this at work, and it has a
         | GGML implementation unlike Falcon and MPT (last I checked) -
         | meaning CPU-based inference on the cloud VM you use at work,
         | maybe.

         | 
         | Productive/generative and logic-based tasks improve with the
         | size of the corpus, but smaller models are useful for reductive
         | tasks where florid prose and accuracy are not a requirement--
         | i.e. summarize this or classify that. I use dolly-3B for quick-
         | and-dirty work like this since I can run it on spare hardware.
         | 
         | Commercially, you could probably get away with hot-swapping
         | large models for small ones during periods of high demand-- for
         | a chat service, kick every 3-4th exchange to a smaller, cheaper
         | model to reduce load on the larger one. Nobody is perfectly
         | coherent _all_ the time...

           | That's my main concern is it making "changes" to what it's

       | 
       | Wow, RedPajama, one of these things is not like the others...
       | 
       | (Edit, it's also a good example that this model is less censored
       | than recent GPTs. It doesn't know that this isn't appropriate in
       | this context, but it's not afraid to add it.)
