I recently started using the base model of LLaMA-2-70B for creative writing and surprisingly found most of my prompts from ChatGPT actually works for the “base model” too, suggesting it might also be fine tuned a bit on ChatGPT-like instructions.
Curious anyone tried both llama 1 & 2 base model and can share their experiences on creativity ? My hunch is llama 1 might be slightly better at it, assuming it hasn’t go through as much alignment.
Why bother with any of the base models instead of using a writing specific model? DreamGen Opus 70B is pretty good and was tuned specifically for creative writing.
