About
Vicuna is a chat assistant trained by fine-tuning Llama 2 on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT.
The primary use of Vicuna is research on large language models and chatbots. The primary intended users of the model are researchers and hobbyists in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Vicuna v1.5 is fine-tuned from Llama 2 with supervised instruction fine-tuning. The training data is around 125K conversations collected from ShareGPT.com. See more details in the "Training Details of Vicuna Models" section in the appendix of this paper.
Vicuna is evaluated with standard benchmarks, human preference, and LLM-as-a-judge. See more details in this paper and leaderboard.

Using it via the API

-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"vicuna","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
