From the model card
OpenChat is a collection of open-source language models, optimized and fine-tuned with a strategy inspired by offline reinforcement learning. We use approximately 80k ShareGPT conversations, a conditioning strategy, and weighted loss to deliver outstanding performance, despite our simple approach. Our ultimate goal is to develop a high-performance, commercially available, open-source large language model, and we are continuously making strides towards this vision.
🤖 Ranked #1 among all open-source models on AgentBench
🔥 Ranked #1 among 13B open-source models | 89.5% win-rate on AlpacaEval | 7.19 score on MT-bench
🕒 Exceptionally efficient padding-free fine-tuning, only requires 15 hours on 8xA100 80G
💲 FREE for commercial use under Llama 2 Community License
To use these models, we highly recommend installing the OpenChat package by following the installation guide and using the OpenChat OpenAI-compatible API server by running the serving command from the table below. The server is optimized for high-throughput deployment using vLLM and can run on a GPU with at least 48GB RAM or two consumer GPUs with tensor parallelism. To enable tensor parallelism, append --tensor-parallel-size 2 to the serving command.
When started, the server listens at localhost:18888 for requests and is compatible with the OpenAI ChatCompletion API specifications. See the example request below for reference. Additionally, you can access the OpenChat Web UI for a user-friendly experience.
To deploy the server as an online service, use --api-keys sk-KEY1 sk-KEY2 ... to specify allowed API keys and --disable-log-requests --disable-log-stats --log-file openchat.log for logging only to a file. We recommend using a HTTPS gateway in front of the server for security purposes.
curl http://localhost:18888/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "openchat_v3.2",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "You are a large language model named OpenChat. Write a poem to describe yourself"}]
}'

We have evaluated our models using the two most popular evaluation benchmarks **, including AlpacaEval and MT-bench. Here we list the top models with our released versions, sorted by model size in descending order. The full version can be found on the MT-bench and AlpacaEval leaderboards.
To ensure consistency, we used the same routine as ChatGPT / GPT-4 to run these benchmarks. We started the OpenAI API-compatible server and set the openai.api_base to http://localhost:18888/v1 in the benchmark program.
