Compare Base Models

Types of Base Models

There are typically three types of base models: generalized, chat, and instruct models.

  • Generalized Models: These models have been fine-tuned to be able to perform a wide range of tasks.
  • Chat Models: These models have been fine-tuned to be able to interact with users via chat.
  • Instruct Models: These models have been fine-tuned to be able to follow prompted instructions.

Available Base Models

Generalized Models

Use generalized models when you intend to provide an inferencing service for a wide range of tasks. They are also great for testing the capabilities of that model’s family.

Model Name Parameters
Llama-2-7b 7 Billion
Llama-2-13b 13 Billion
Llama-2-70b 70 Billion
falcon-7b 7 Billion
falcon-40b 40 Billion
mpt-7b 7 Billion
mpt-30b 30 Billion

Chat Models

Use chat models when you intend to provide an inferencing service for conversational AI applications.

Model Name Parameters
Llama-2-7b-chat 7 Billion
Llama-2-13b-chat 13 Billion
Llama-2-70b-chat 70 Billion
falcon-7b-chat 7 Billion

Instruct Models

Use instruct models when you want to programmatically instruct the model to perform a task, such as data transformation, classification, summarization, and more.

Model Name Parameters
falcon-40b-instruct 40 Billion
mpt-7b-instruct 7 Billion
mpt-30b-instruct 30 Billion
