whatmodel.sh / cont-PaLM 62B (PaLM 62B trained to 1.3T tokens)

cont-PaLM 62B (PaLM 62B trained to 1.3T tokens) is a closed-weights language model from Google, released October 2022. Its published size is 62.5B parameters. Licence: proprietary.

Catalogue identity notes

Google's PaLM 62B checkpoint trained further to ~1.3T tokens. The Flan paper (Table 2 caption) names it 'cont-PaLM (also known as PaLM 62B at 1.3T tokens)'; the PaLM paper v5 reports it as 'PaLM 62B' with 1325B training tokens (Tables 31-32, Table 40 one-shot column). Distinct from the original 795B-token palm-62b. Never released. Comparison-only.

$ how the score was worked out · PaLM: Scaling Language Modeli… 51%, Scaling Instruction-Finetuned… 48%

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
