Column Explanations
- Model Name
- E.g., “GPT-4,” “Llama 2,” “Claude 2,” etc.
- Provider
- The company or organization offering the model (OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, etc.).
- Architecture/Model Family
- For example, “Transformer-based,” “GPT series,” or “Llama family.”
- Model Size (Parameters)
- Approximate parameter count (e.g., 7B, 13B, 70B). Useful if publicly known.
- Context Window/Token Limit
- The maximum tokens or character length the model can handle in one prompt (e.g., 8k, 32k tokens).
- Primary Use Case
- Short note on what the model is best at (e.g., general conversation, coding help, summarization).
- Pricing Model
- Whether it’s free to use, subscription-based, pay-per-token, or self-hosted with infrastructure costs.
- Fine-Tuning Availability
- Can you fine-tune/customize the model? Is it accessible to the public, or restricted?
- Latency/Speed
- Any notes on how quickly the model responds or hardware requirements if self-hosted.
- Quality of Outputs (Benchmarks)
- Include known performance metrics or personal impressions of writing style/accuracy.
- Data Privacy & Security
- Summaries of how the model handles user data. For example, is data stored, encrypted, or used to re-train?
- License (Open Source, Commercial, etc.)
- Note if the model is licensed under MIT, Apache, or if usage is restricted.
- Additional Notes
