Regarding [2], dang, I am working on exactly this! I mean, it's not that novel of a technique once you start controlling the sampling process directly, but you beat me to the punch. This technique generalizes to pretty much any grammar

In my experience, the smaller models are almost completely worthless as-is. 65B is the only decent one (I'd say just behind gpt-3.5-turbo, and obviously it's not instruction tuned but I mean the coherency of the core language mode
