A collection of open-source instruction tuning datasets to train (text and multi-modal) chat-based LLMs (GPT-4, ChatGPT,LLaMA,Alpaca). We currently include three types of dataset:

1. visual-instruction-tuning (e.g. image-instruction-answer)
2. text-instruction-tuning datasets.
3. red-teaming | Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) Datasets

Instruction Tuning / Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) Dataset is a key component of instruction-following LLMs such as ChatGPT. This repo is dedicated to providing a comprehensive list of datasets used for instruction tuning in various LLMs, making it easier for researchers and developers to access and utilize these resources.
