Nous Llama 2 Models by Nous Research
About
The Nous Llama 2 family, developed by Nous Research, consists of large language models that include various sizes such as 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters. These models are fine-tuned on an extensive dataset of over 300,000 instructions, leveraging the Llama 2 architecture. They are distinguished by their ability to generate lengthy responses with a low hallucination rate, as well as the lack of OpenAI censorship in their training data. The training process predominantly utilized synthetic outputs from GPT-4, complemented by data from open-source datasets. Available on Hugging Face, the Nous Llama 2 models are versatile for diverse language tasks, ranging from creative text generation to complex instruction following 148.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Nous Llama 2 used for?
- The Nous Llama 2 family, developed by Nous Research, consists of large language models that include various sizes such as 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters.
- How does Nous Llama 2 compare to Hermes 2?
- Nous Llama 2 by Nous Research is strongest where you need its listed use cases, while Hermes 2 by Nous Research is the closest related family to check for agent workflows and tool use. Nous Llama 2 has 3 listed variants and reaches up to 4k context, while Hermes 2 reaches up to 200k context, so compare the specs and pricing tables before choosing a production model.
- Which Nous Llama 2 model should I use?
- If price is the main constraint, use the pricing table first because Nous Llama 2 does not have complete provider pricing in the local data. For the most capable/latest local choice, evaluate Nous Llama 2 70B with 4k context.
