R · What Makes It Special
Databricks' Dolly 2.0 (April 12, 2023), a 12B-parameter instruction-following model fine-tuned from EleutherAI's Pythia-12B on databricks-dolly-15k, 15,000 prompt-and-response pairs written by more than 5,000 Databricks employees; Databricks called it the first open-source instruction-following LLM tuned on human-generated data licensed for research and commercial use, and released its weights, training code and dataset (CC BY-SA 3.0), while noting it is not a state-of-the-art model.
