PygmalionAI Reviews in 2026

Anyone in need of an open source project dedicated to creating large language models for chat and role-play purposes

About PygmalionAI

PygmalionAI is a community dedicated to creating open-source projects based on EleutherAI's GPT-J 6B and Meta's LLaMA models. In simple terms, Pygmalion makes AI fine-tuned for chatting and roleplaying purposes. The current actively supported Pygmalion AI model is the 7B variant, based on Meta AI's LLaMA model. With only 18GB (or less) VRAM required, Pygmalion offers better chat capability than much larger language models with relatively minimal resources. Our curated dataset of high-quality roleplaying data ensures that your bot will be the optimal RP partner. Both the model weights and the code used to train it are completely open-source, and you can modify/re-distribute it for whatever purpose you want. Language models, including Pygmalion, generally run on GPUs since they need access to fast memory and massive processing power in order to output coherent text at an acceptable speed.

OpenLLaMA

OpenLLaMA is a permissively licensed open source reproduction of Meta AI’s LLaMA 7B trained on the RedPajama dataset. Our model weights can serve as the drop in replacement of LLaMA 7B in existing implementations. We also provide a smaller 3B variant of LLaMA model.

GPT-J

GPT-J is a cutting-edge language model created by the research organization EleutherAI. In terms of performance, GPT-J exhibits a level of proficiency comparable to that of OpenAI's renowned GPT-3 model in a range of zero-shot tasks. Notably, GPT-J has demonstrated the ability to surpass GPT-3 in tasks related to generating code. The latest iteration of this language model, known as GPT-J-6B, is built upon a linguistic dataset referred to as The Pile. This dataset, which is publicly available, encompasses a substantial volume of 825 gibibytes of language data, organized into 22 distinct subsets. While GPT-J shares certain capabilities with ChatGPT, it is important to note that GPT-J is not designed to operate as a chatbot; rather, its primary function is to predict text. In a significant development in March 2023, Databricks introduced Dolly, a model that follows instructions and is licensed under Apache.

Stable LM

Stable LM: Stability AI Language Models. The release of Stable LM builds on our experience in open-sourcing earlier language models with EleutherAI, a nonprofit research hub. These language models include GPT-J, GPT-NeoX, and the Pythia suite, which were trained on The Pile open-source dataset. Many recent open-source language models continue to build on these efforts, including Cerebras-GPT and Dolly-2. Stable LM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on The Pile, but three times larger with 1.5 trillion tokens of content. We will release details on the dataset in due course. The richness of this dataset gives Stable LM surprisingly high performance in conversational and coding tasks, despite its small size of 3 to 7 billion parameters (by comparison, GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters). Stable LM 3B is a compact language model designed to operate on portable digital devices like handhelds and laptops, and we’re excited about its capabilities and portability.

Hermes 3

Experiment, and push the boundaries of individual alignment, artificial consciousness, open-source software, and decentralization, in ways that monolithic companies and governments are too afraid to try. Hermes 3 contains advanced long-term context retention and multi-turn conversation capability, complex roleplaying and internal monologue abilities, and enhanced agentic function-calling. Our training data aggressively encourages the model to follow the system and instruction prompts exactly and in an adaptive manner. Hermes 3 was created by fine-tuning Llama 3.1 8B, 70B, and 405B, and training on a dataset of primarily synthetically generated responses. The model boasts comparable and superior performance to Llama 3.1 while unlocking deeper capabilities in reasoning and creativity. Hermes 3 is a series of instruct and tool-use models with strong reasoning and creative abilities.
