Microsoft releases new open-source AI model Orca

Unlike ChatGPT, Orca is a smaller model and is designed for specific use cases.

• Developed by Microsoft Research, Orca is a smaller AI model with 13 billion parameters. Compared to large models like GPT-4 or GPT-3.5, which has up to 175 billion parameters, this might seem miniscule but unlike these models, Orca is designed and tailored for specific use cases.
• It also has another trick up its sleeve. Like larger models, Orca can be taught with human supervision but unlike larger models, it can learn from step-by-step instructions and more interestingly, can also learn by larger language models.
