Thanks, very helpful. Are llama and chatGPT essentially the same “program”, just with different weights? And is one better than the other (for the same number of parameters) just because it has better weights?

My understanding is they are both "LLM" (Large language models). That's the generic term you are looking for.

I don't think you can compare one LLMs weights to another directly, because the weights are a product of the LLM. In theory (I don't know actually) llama and chatGPT may be using different source datasets so you can't compare them like for like.

LLaMA and GPT are like Pepsi and Coke.
