Open source LLMs have a major limitation.
But today, everything changes with the release of a new Foundation LLM Giraffe!🦒
So, what limitation does Giraffe overcome❔
❗️Open source LLMs have a max context length of 2k tokens, which roughly mean that they can not take inputs longer than 1500 words.
❗️This makes them less useful for creating a Custom LLM based on your knowledge base.
❗️Limited data in each call negatively impacts model performance.
How Giraffe solved this problem❔
❗️@AbacusAI have released two versions of Giraffe with context lengths to 4K and 16K.
❗️Which means now you can feed them with upto 3000 & 12000 words respectively in one go! 🚀
Find all the code & instructions for reproducing or building on the results 👇
github.com/abacusai/Long-Con…
The weights (and datasets) are available for download from Huggingface.
4k: huggingface.co/abacusai/Gira…
16k: huggingface.co/abacusai/Gira…
The current implementation is based on Llama-v1, the implementation for Llama-v2 with research paper to be released soon!
Follow @AbacusAI for all the updates!
That's a wrap, if you interested in:
- Python 🐍
- ML/MLOps🤖
- Maths for ML 🧮
- CV/NLP 🗣
- LLMs 🧠

Everyday, I share tutorials on above topics!
Cheers! 🥂

Technology without human intervention is useless, and without technology, human progress is stunted. The symbiotic relationship between people and technology is more critical than ever. As a result, organizations must accelerate their pace of adaptation.
