+## **Redmond-Puffin-70B**
+
+**The first commercially available language model released by Nous Research!**
+
+This is a larger version of Puffin-
+which was originally the worlds first third-party llama-2 fine-tune. leveraging a hand curated set of 3K high quality examples, many of which take full advantage of the 4096 context length of Llama 2. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with LDJ leading the training and dataset curation, along with significant dataset formation contributions by J-Supha.
+
+Special thank you to Pygmalion AI for sponsoring the compute.
+
+Special thank you to Emozilla for assisting with training experimentations and benchmarking.
+
+## Model Training
+
+Redmond-Puffin 70B is a new model trained for multiple epochs on a dataset of 3,000 carefully curated GPT-4 examples, most of which are long context conversations between a real human and GPT-4. 
+
+Additional data came from carefully curated sub sections of datasets such as CamelAI's Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Math.
+
+## Prompt Format
+
+The reccomended model usage is:
+
+```
+### human:
+
+### response:
+```
+Optional reccomended pre-prompt / system prompt:
+
+```
+### human: Interact in conversation to the best of your ability, please be concise, logical, intelligent and coherent.
+
+### response: Sure! sounds good.
+```
+
+## When should I use Puffin or Hermes 2?
+
+Although full benchmarks have not completed for Puffin,
+Original Puffin 13B and Hermes-2 13B both beat previous SOTA for GPT4ALL benchmarks, with Hermes-2 winning by a 0.1% margin over Puffin.
+
+Overall, for general purpose zero-shot and/or single turn instructions, Hermes will likely be the way to go. Puffin may be prefferred for creative long conversation interactions, like having Puffin play a character or help brain storm creative ideas or concepts that make contextual sense within an already deep conversation. 
+
+Thank you to the comprehensive analysis and comparison of Puffin and Hermes by reddit user WolframRavenwolf here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/158j9r9/nous_hermes_llama2_vs_redmond_puffin_13b/

+
+## Notable Features:
+
+ - The first Llama-2 based fine-tuned model released by Nous Research.
+
+ - Ability to recall information upto 2023 without internet (ChatGPT cut off date is in 2021)
+
+ - Pretrained on 2 trillion tokens of text. (This is double the amount of most Open LLM's)
+
+ - Pretrained with a context length of 4096 tokens, and fine-tuned on a significant amount of multi-turn conversations reaching that full token limit.
+
+ - The first commercially available language model released by Nous Research.
+
+## Future Plans
+
+This is a relatively early build amongst the grand plans for the future of Puffin! 
+
+Current limitations: Some token mismatch problems have been identified, these may effect the current output quality, we plan to have this solved in Puffin V2 along with other improvements.
+
+## How you can help!
+
+In the near future we plan on leveraging the help of domain specific expert volunteers to eliminate any mathematically/verifiably incorrect answers from our training curations. 
+
+If you have at-least a bachelors in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and would like to volunteer even just 30 minutes of your expertise time, please contact LDJ on discord!
+
+## Benchmarks (New benchmarks coming soon, however here are the 13B benchmarks for now)!
+
+As of Puffins release, it achieves a new SOTA for the GPT4All benchmarks! Supplanting Hermes for the #1 position!
+(Rounded to nearest tenth)
+
+Previous Sota: Hermes - 68.8
+New Sota:      Puffin - 69.9 (+1.1)
+ 
+Puffin 13B supplants Hermes-2 for the #1 spot in Arc-E, HellaSwag and Winogrande!
+
+Puffin also perfectly ties with Hermes in PIQA, however Hermes-2 still excels in much of Big Bench and AGIEval, so it's highly reccomended you give it a try as well!
