About Stable Beluga 2

Stable Beluga 2 is a language model developed by Stability AI. It is a Llama 2 70B model fine-tuned on an Orca-style dataset, and its homepage describes it as an auto-regressive model for English text generation. It is loaded and run with Hugging Face Transformers.

The homepage links to Stable Chat, a research preview where the model can be tested for free. It also includes a Python example that loads the model and generates text, along with a recommended prompt format built from system, user, and assistant sections. The example code is written for a CUDA GPU. The fine-tuned checkpoints are licensed under the Stable Beluga Non-Commercial Community License Agreement, which limits use to non-commercial purposes.
