I really dislike this approach of announcing new models that some companies have taken, they don't mention evaluation results or performance of the model, but instead talk about how "transparent", "accessible" and "supportive" these models are.
Anyway, I have benchmarked stablelm-base-alpha-3b (the open-source version, not the fine-tuned one which is under a NC license) using the MMLU benchmark and the results are rather underwhelming compared to other open source models:
- stablelm-base-alpha-3b (3B params): 25.6% average accuracy
- flan-t5-xl (3B params): 49.3% average accuracy
- flan-t5-small (80M params): 29.4% average accuracy
MMLU is just one benchmark, but based on the blog post, I don't think it will yield much better results in others. I'll leave links to the MMLU results of other proprietary[0] and open-access[1] models (results may vary by ±2% depending on the parameters used during inference).
