Electra
FREEELECTRA (Efficiently Learning an Encoder that Classifies Token Replacements Accurately) is a transformer-based model like BERT, but it uses a different pre-training approach, which is more efficient and requires less computational resources. It was created by a team of researchers from Google Research, Brain Team, and Stanford University. ELECTRA models are trained to distinguish “real” input tokens vs “fake” input tokens generated by another neural network (for the more technical audience, ELECTRA uses a new pre-training task, called replaced token detection (RTD), that trains a bidirectional model while learning from all input positions). Inspired by generative adversarial networks (GANs), ELECTRA trains the model to distinguish between “real” and “fake” input data. At small scale, ELECTRA achieves strong results even when trained on a single GPU. At large scale, ELECTRA achieves state-of-the-art results on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset. Go to GitHub where you can access the three models (ELECTRA-Small, ELECTRA-Base and ELECTRA-Large). -

FLAN-T5
FREEIf you already know T5, FLAN-T5 is just better at everything. For the same number of parameters, these models have been fine-tuned on more than 1,000 additional tasks covering more languages – the NLP is for English, German, French. It has Apache-2.0 license which is a permissive open source license that allows for commercial use. With appropriate prompting, it can perform zero-shot NLP tasks such as text summarization, common sense reasoning, natural language inference, question answering, sentence and sentiment classification, translation, and pronoun resolution. -

Flan-UL2
FREEDeveloped by Google, Flan-UL2, which is a more powerful version of the T5 model that has been trained using Flan, and it is downloadable from Hugging Face. It shows performance exceeding the ‘prior’ versions of Flan-T5. With the ability to reason for itself and generalize better than the previous models, Flan-UL2 is a great improvement. Flan-UL2 is a machine learning model that can generate textual descriptions of images and has the potential to be used for image search, video captioning, automated content generation, and visual question answering. Flan-UL2 has an Apache-2.0 license, which is a permissive open source license that allows for commercial use.If Flan-UL2’s 20B parameters are too much, consider the previous iteration of Flan-T5, which comes in five different sizes and might be more suitable for your needs. -
EleutherAI
GPT-J
FREEEleutherAI is a leading non-profit research institute focused on large-scale artificial intelligence research. EleutherAI has trained and released several LLMs and the codebases used to train them. GPT-J can be used for code generation, making a chat bot, story writing, language translation and searching. GPT-J learns an inner representation of the English language that can be used to extract features useful for downstream tasks. The model is best at what it was pretrained for, which is generating text from a prompt. EleutherAI has a web page where you can test to see how the GPT-J works, or you can run GPT-J on google colab, or use the Hugging Face Transformers library. -
EleutherAI
GPT-NeoX-20B
FREEEleutherAI has trained and released several LLMs and the codebases used to train them. EleutherAI is a leading non-profit research institute focused on large-scale artificial intelligence research. GPT-NeoX-20B is a 20 billion parameter autoregressive language model trained on the Pile using the GPT-NeoX library. Its architecture intentionally resembles that of GPT-3, and is almost identical to that of GPT-J- 6B. Its training dataset contains a multitude of English-language texts, reflecting the general-purpose nature of this model. It is a transformer-based language model and is English-language only, and thus cannot be used for translation or generating text in other languages. It is freely and openly available to the public through a permissive license. -

LaMDA
OTHERLaMDA stands for Language Model for Dialogue Application. It is a conversational Large Language Model (LLM) built by Google as an underlying technology to power dialogue-based applications that can generate natural-sounding human language. LaMDA is built by fine-tuning a family of Transformer-based neural language models specialized for dialog and teaching the models to leverage external knowledge sources. The potential use cases for LaMDA are diverse, ranging from customer service and chatbots to personal assistants and beyond. LaMDA is not open source; currently, there are no APIs or downloads. However, Google is working on making LaMDA more accessible to researchers and developers. In the future, it is likely that LaMDA will be released as an open source project, and that APIs and downloads will be made available. -
Aleph Alpha
Luminous-base
$0.0055Aleph Alpha have the Luminous large language model. Luminous models vary in size, price and parameters. Luminous-base speaks and writes 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and the model can perform information extraction, language simplification and has multi-capable image description capability. Aleph Alpha is targeting “critical enterprises” — organizations like law firms, healthcare providers and banks, which rely heavily on trustable, accurate information. You can try Aleph Alpha models for free. Go to the Jumpstart page on their site and click through the examples on Classification and Labelling, Generation, Information Extraction, Translation & Conversion and Multimodal.
