TimeChat-7b

TimeChat Model Card

Model details

Model type: TimeChat is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA-2 on time-sensitive video-centric instruction-following data (See TimeIT-Instruct-104k). It is an auto-regressive language model, based on the transformer architecture.

Model date: TimeChat-7B was trained in November 2023.
