The dataset is completed. ~1mil of GPT4 augmented flanv2 instructions and ~3.5mil of GPT3.5 augmented flanv2 instructions.

We are currently training on LLaMA-13b. We expect completion in about 2 weeks.

When training is complete, we will release the dataset and the model at the same time.

We are seeking GPU compute sponsors for various targets, please consult the blog post and reach out if interested.

Thank you to our sponsors!

We are currently seeking GPU compute sponsors for training OpenOrca on the following platforms:

Falcon 7b, 40b

LLaMA 7b, 13b, 33b, 65b

MPT-7b, 30b

Any other targets that get a sponsor. (RWKV, OpenLLaMA)

Dataset consists of:
