Pythia
A suite for analyzing large language models across training and scaling.
Overview
The Pythia model suite was developed by EleutherAI to enable scientific research on the development, training, and behavior of large language models. It consists of 16 models of varying sizes, all trained on the same public dataset (The Pile) in the same order. This allows researchers to study how model properties evolve during training and across different model scales. The models are available under the Apache 2.0 license.
✨ Key Features
- Suite of 16 models of different sizes
- All models trained on the same data in the same order
