With LIMA, Meta’s AI researchers introduce a new language model that achieves GPT-4 and Bard level performance in test scenarios, albeit fine-tuned with relatively few examples.

LIMA stands for “Less is More for Alignment,” and the name hints at the model’s function: It is intended to show that with an extensively pre-trained AI model, a few examples are sufficient to achieve high-quality results.

Few examples in this case means that Meta manually selected 1,000 diverse prompts and their output from sources such as other research papers, WikiHow, StackExchange, and Reddit.
