Phi-2
About
The Phi family of language models, developed by Microsoft Research, comprises several small language models (SLMs) designed to achieve high performance despite their relatively small size. These models employ a Transformer architecture and are trained on a blend of synthetic and web datasets 12. Emphasizing the quality of training data, the models prioritize "textbook-quality" information to enhance reasoning and understanding capabilities 1. The Phi series includes Phi-1, Phi-1.5, and Phi-2, with each version incorporating advancements in model scaling and data curation 1. Phi-2, the latest in the series, has 2.7 billion parameters and exhibits state-of-the-art performance among base models with fewer than 13 billion parameters across various benchmarks 12. Notably, Phi-2 has not been subjected to reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) or instruction fine-tuning 12, and the models are accessible to researchers to aid exploration of safety challenges and other language model developments 2.
