Orca-2 and How to Run It on Apple Silicon with llama.cpp

About Orca-2 The fine folk at Microsoft Research have recently published Orca 2, a new small large language model and apparently, it’s quite good! Just look at the test results below – on average, both the 7B and the 13B variants are significantly better than Llama-2-Chat-70B, with Orca-2-13B superseding even WizardLM-70B. Pretty cool! 🚀 I also love the idea behind it: prompting a big large language model (in our case GPT-4) to answer some rather convoluted logic questions while aided by some very specific system prompts, and then fine-tune a smaller model (Llama-2-7B and 13B respectively) on just the question and answer pairs, leaving out the detailed system prompts....
