Alpaca vs Mamba

Alpaca is an instruction-following language model released by Stanford researchers in March 2023. It was fine-tuned from Meta's LLaMA 7B model using 52,000 instruction-response examples generated with OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model through a self-instruct process. The project demonstrated that a relatively small dataset and modest fine-tuning budget could reproduce some instruction-following beha...

Mamba is a deep learning architecture introduced in 2023 by researchers Albert Gu and Tri Dao that utilizes selective state space models (SSMs) for natural language processing. Unlike traditional Transformer models that require quadratic computational complexity for sequence length, Mamba achieves linear-time inference. It accomplishes this through a hardware-aware algorithm that allows the model...
