About

The OpenChat 3 family consists of open-source large language models (LLMs) that are fine-tuned using a novel approach called C-RLFT, inspired by offline reinforcement learning. These models are trained on a diverse dataset without needing explicit preference labels, enabling them to achieve comparable performance to models like ChatGPT, even with smaller sizes such as 7 billion parameters. The family includes versions like OpenChat 3.5 and 3.6, featuring improved coding capabilities and overall performance enhancements. These models are designed for tasks like chat, conversation, text generation, and coding, and are licensed under Apache 2.0. They are highly optimized for efficiency and speed, often utilizing quantization methods, and are compatible with a wide range of clients and libraries, making them accessible to many users 27.
