In this post, we discuss a version of Vicuna-13B that we just released called Poet Vicuna-13B. This model is part of an early-stage project focused on enhancing open source large language models. Poet Vicuna-13B is an implementation of Vicuna-13B that is modified to generate poems and lyrics with specific syllabic patterns. You can use it to rewrite Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or generate modernist poems with lots of beautiful white space sprinkled with lines of lengths that you choose.

For example, we asked Poet Vicuna-13B to write an eight line poem with these syllable counts [3, 3, 0, 2, 0, 5, 0, 3, 2, 1, 0, 4] in response to this prompt:
