Understanding the Model: An Analogy
Think of WizardLM-2 as a highly skilled chef in a luxurious restaurant kitchen. The chef has access to three distinct cookbooks (the different model sizes: 8x22B, 70B, and 7B). Depending on the dish requested (the task at hand), the chef selects the appropriate cookbook that matches the complexity of the orders being prepared.
For simple recipes (less complex tasks), the chef can whip up a meal quickly from the smaller cookbook (WizardLM-2 7B), enabling faster service. For more intricate gourmet dishes (complex reasoning and multilingual tasks), the chef might need to refer to the more robust and intricate recipes in the larger cookbooks (8x22B and 70B). Regardless of the choice, the goal is always to deliver a memorable dining experience (performance results) to the guests (users).
Troubleshooting Tips
While using WizardLM-2, you may occasionally run into issues. Here are some common problems and solutions:
- Model Not Found: Ensure you have cloned the correct repository and are in the right directory.
- Dependency Errors: Double-check that all dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file are installed properly.
- Performance Issues: If the model runs slow, consider using a machine with more resources or choices among the models based on their specifications.
