About DistillKit
DistillKit is our new open-source project focused on creating efficient, smaller models that maintain high performance. Arcee-Lite is one of the first models to emerge from this initiative.
Performance
Arcee-Lite showcases remarkable capabilities for its size:
- Achieves a 55.93 score on the MMLU benchmark
- Demonstrates exceptional performance across various tasks
Use Cases
Arcee-Lite is suitable for a wide range of applications where a balance between model size and performance is crucial:
- Embedded systems
- Mobile applications
- Edge computing
- Resource-constrained environments
Please note that our internal evaluations were consistantly higher than their counterparts on the OpenLLM Leaderboard - and should only be compared against the relative performance between the models, not weighed against the leaderboard.
