I find the whole site being covered in images of skinny waifu girls... offputting. The guide itself seems fine, if high-level. [This]( https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard ) is a really nice link I hadn't seen before.

In my presentations about it at work, I’ve been generating pictures of my dog doing things to illustrate various things. No different I suppose.

> How to install Llama models? > See the installation guide for Windows and the installation guide for Mac. Much "open" LLM/SD/etc. grassroots stuff seems to be shooting themselves in the face, by pushing others to closed platforms. Now is one of the times to be increasing pressure for open platforms, not backsliding.

yes, they are, but it seems a good fit nonetheless

Same here... the images are beautiful but seem completely unrelated to the topic (other than being AI-generated - but they could've generated images that have some sort of relation to the topic instead!). It kind of shows what the author has been using the AI for, I suppose :P.

I would usually agree but in this case its a pun on “models”. I find it quite funny.

I don't mind waifu girls, but I really don't know how these images are related to Llama. It's not an article about Stable Diffusion right...?

Huge content farm vibe.

Edit: I read the article carefully. Yeah, not just content farm vibe. It's a content farm.

> What can you do with Llama models?

> You can use Llama models the same ways you use ChatGPT.

> Chat. Just ask questions about things you want to know.

> Coding. Ask for a short program to do something in a specific computer language.

> Outlines. Giving an outline of certain technical topics.

> Creative writing. Let the model write a story for you.

> Information extraction. Summarize an essay. Ask specific questions about an essay.

> Rewrite. Write your paragraph in a different tone and style.

Obvious padding content for SEO. Flagged.

I thought they were a bit over the top, but what really caught my eye was how creepy looking that first llama is.

Can you recommend another systematized guides like this about LLMs and ML in general? Even though was quite limited in info, I like the structured and concise form and I’d be happy to learn about similar blog posts

An easy way to try many of the fine-tuned Llama 2 models is https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama.

A maintainer of the project has been collecting a full list here (with different quantization levels), most of which are Llama 2-based: https://gist.github.com/mchiang0610/b959e3c189ec1e948e4f6a1f...

Since the release of Llama 2 the number of models based on it has been growing significantly.. some popular ones:

- codeup (A code generation model - DeepSE)

- llama2-uncensored (George Sung)

- nous-hermes-llama2 (Nous Research)

- wizardlm-uncensored (WizardLM)

- stablebeluga (Stability AI)

The article also recommends oobabooga's text-generation-webui which includes a full web dashboard.
