About Solar Mini
Solar Mini is a pre‑trained large language model that delivers GPT‑3.5‑comparable responses with 2.5× faster inference while staying under 30 billion parameters. It achieved first place on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard in December 2023 by combining a 32‑layer Llama 2 architecture, initialized with high‑quality Mistral 7B weights, with an innovative “depth up‑scaling” (DUS) approach that deepens the model efficiently without adding complex modules. After DUS, continued pretraining restores and enhances performance, and instruction tuning in a QA format, especially for Korean, refines its ability to follow user prompts, while alignment tuning ensures its outputs meet human or advanced AI preferences. Solar Mini outperforms competitors such as Llama 2, Mistral 7B, Ko‑Alpaca, and KULLM across a variety of benchmarks, proving that compact size need not sacrifice capability.

TinyLlama
The TinyLlama project aims to pretrain a 1.1B Llama model on 3 trillion tokens. With some proper optimization, we can achieve this within a span of "just" 90 days using 16 A100-40G GPUs. We adopted exactly the same architecture and tokenizer as Llama 2. This means TinyLlama can be plugged and played in many open-source projects built upon Llama. Besides, TinyLlama is compact with only 1.1B parameters. This compactness allows it to cater to a multitude of applications demanding a restricted computation and memory footprint.

Llama 2
The next generation of our open source large language model. This release includes model weights and starting code for pretrained and fine-tuned Llama language models — ranging from 7B to 70B parameters.
Llama 2 pretrained models are trained on 2 trillion tokens, and have double the context length than Llama 1. Its fine-tuned models have been trained on over 1 million human annotations.
Llama 2 outperforms other open source language models on many external benchmarks, including reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests.
Llama 2 was pretrained on publicly available online data sources. The fine-tuned model, Llama-2-chat, leverages publicly available instruction datasets and over 1 million human annotations.
We have a broad range of supporters around the world who believe in our open approach to today’s AI — companies that have given early feedback and are excited to build with Llama 2.

Mistral 7B
Mistral 7B is a 7.3-billion-parameter language model that outperforms larger models like Llama 2 13B across various benchmarks. It employs Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for faster inference and Sliding Window Attention (SWA) to efficiently handle longer sequences. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Mistral 7B is accessible for deployment across diverse platforms, including local environments and major cloud services. Additionally, a fine-tuned version, Mistral 7B Instruct, demonstrates enhanced performance in instruction-following tasks, surpassing models like Llama 2 13B Chat.
