About Phi-2
Phi-2 is a compact language model by Microsoft endowed with 2.7 billion parameters and part of their Phi series. It shows formidable capabilities in reasoning and language understanding, outshining much larger models, even those with up to 25 times more parameters. Phi-2's training utilized a vast and diverse dataset of 1.4 trillion tokens, incorporating high-quality synthetic data and curated web content to bolster its common sense reasoning and general knowledge. Interestingly, despite lacking fine-tuning via reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), it exhibits enhanced safety features and reduced bias.
