This article discusses the latest open LLM (large language model) releases, including Mixtral 8x22B, Meta AI's Llama 3, and Microsoft's Phi-3, and compares their performance on the MMLU benchmark. It also talks about Apple's OpenELM and its efficient language model family with an open-source training and inference framework. The article also explores the use of PPO and DPO algorithms for instruction finetuning and alignment in LLMs.
This article discusses the process of training a large language model (LLM) using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and a new alternative method called Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). The article explains how these methods help align the LLM with human expectations and make it more efficient.
