What is Dolly?
Dolly, is a ossum project by Databricks, is an innovative large language model designed for instruction-following tasks. Unlike traditional language models, Dolly specializes in understanding and executing instructions provided by users, making it a powerful tool for various applications requiring precise task completion.
History of Dolly:
Dolly 1.0:
- Dolly 1.0 set a new standard for instruction-following LLMs.
- Initially trained on output from ChatGPT by the Stanford Alpaca team via OpenAI API.
- Faced commercial restrictions, limiting widespread use.
Dolly 2.0:
- Databricks introduced Dolly 2.0, the first open-source, commercially viable instruction-following LLM.
- Fine-tuned with a high-quality instruction dataset from 5,000+ Databricks employees.
Versions of Dolly:
Dolly 1.0:
Dolly 1.0 was the initial version, trained at a relatively low cost of $30 using the Stanford Alpaca dataset. However, it had limitations in terms of commercial use due to the terms of service restrictions associated with the dataset.
Dolly 2.0:
Dolly 2.0 is a significant upgrade, addressing the limitations of the previous version:
- Free and Open-Source: Dolly 2.0 is available free of charge for both research and commercial use. It is the first open-source, commercially viable instruction-following large language model offering unrestricted access to its capabilities.
