This means that it can be further fine-tuned on more data with custom prompts as usual or be used for downstream tasks as any base model you can get. The model has the best of both worlds: some "bias" to act as an assistant, but also the abillity to predict the next-word from its internet knowledge base. It's a 1.3b llama 2 model so you can use it with your favorite tools/frameworks. ### evaluation |Model| ARC_C| HellaSwag| PIQA| Winogrande| |------|-----|-----------|------|-------------| |tinyllama-2t| 0.2807| 0.5463| 0.7067| 0.5683| |palmer-001 | 0.2807| 0.5524| 0.7106| **0.5896**| |sheared-1.3b| 0.2910| 0.5935| **0.7339**| 0.5809| |palmer-002 | **0.3157**| **0.6022**| 0.7334| 0.5864| ### training Training took ~5 P100 gpu hours. It was trained on 15,000 gpt-4 shuffled samples. palmer was fine-tuned using lower learning rates ensuring it keeps as much general knowledge as possible. ### prompt ``` no prompt ```
