Meet Tülu 3, a set of state-of-the-art instruct models with fully open data, eval code, and training algorithms.
We invented new methods for fine-tuning language models with RL and built upon best practices to scale synthetic instruction and preference data.
Demo, GitHub, paper, and models 👇

I've found starter packs on NLP, vision, graphics, etc. But personally, I would love to know and hear from researchers working on vision-language. So, let me know if you'd like to join this starter pack, would be happy to add!

Would love to hear any other tips if you have them!

This proved very popular on another (more evil) social media platform, so sharing here also 🙂
