Stanford University
Alpaca
FREEStanford University released an instruction-following language model called Alpaca, which was fine-tuned from Meta’s LLaMA 7B model. The Alpaca model was trained on 52K instruction-following demonstrations generated in the style of self-instruct using text-davinci-003. Alpaca aims to help the academic community engage with the models by providing an open source model that rivals OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 (text-davinci-003) models. To this end, Alpaca has been kept small and cheap (fine-tuning Alpaca took 3 hours on 8x A100s which is less than $100 of cost) to reproduce. All training data and techniques have been released. The Alpaca license explicitly prohibits commercial use, and the model can only be used for research/personal projects, and users need to follow LLaMA’s license agreement. -
ChatGLM
ChatGLM-6B
FREEResearchers at the Tsinghua University in China have worked on developing the ChatGLM series of models that have comparable performance to other models such as GPT-3 and BLOOM. ChatGLM-6B is an open bilingual language model (trained on Chinese and English). It is based on General Language Model (GLM) framework, with 6.2B parameters. With the quantization technique, users can deploy locally on consumer-grade graphics cards (only 6GB of GPU memory is required at the INT4 quantization level). The following models are available: ChatGLM-130B (an open source LLM), ChatGLM-100B (not open source but available through invite-only access), and ChatGLM-6 (a lightweight open source alternative). ChatGLM LLMs are available with a Apache-2.0 license that allows commercial use. We have included the link to the Hugging Face page where you can try the ChatGLM-6B Chatbot for free. -
Databricks
Dolly 2.0
FREEDolly 2.0 by Databricks, is the first open source, instruction-following Large Language Model, fine-tuned on a human-generated instruction dataset and is licensed for research and commercial use, which means any organization can create, own, and customize powerful LLMs that can talk to people without paying for API access or sharing data with third parties.Dolly 2.0 is a 12B parameter language model based on the EleutherAI pythia model family and fine-tuned exclusively on a new, high-quality human generated instruction following dataset (crowdsourced among Databricks employees – so cool). Dolly-v2-12b is not a state-of-the-art model, but it does exhibit surprisingly high-quality instruction following behavior not characteristic of the foundation model on which it is based. Dolly v2 is also available in smaller model sizes: dolly-v2-7b, a 6.9 billion parameter based on pythia-6.9b and dolly-v2-3b, a 2.8 billion parameter based on pythia-2.8b.Dolly 2.0 can be used for brainstorming, classification, open Q&A, closed Q&A, content generation, information extraction, and summarization. You can access the Dolly 2.0 can training code, the dataset, and the model weights on Hugging Face. -
Technology Innovation Institute
Falcon-40B
OTHERThe Technology Innovation Institute (TII), an Abu Dhabi government funded research institution, has introduced Falcon, a state-of-the-art autoregressive decoder-only language model series released under the Apache 2.0 license, which means it can be used for commerical and research uses.
The family includes Falcon-40B and Falcon-7B, trained on 1 trillion tokens, mainly (>80%) from the RefinedWeb datase. A special variant, Falcon-40B-Instruct, has been made available which may be more suitable for assistant-style tasks. Falcon-40B can support English, German, Spanish, French (and limited capabilities in Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish). It can be used to generate creative text and solve complex problems, chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, content generation, and sentiment analysis (and more).To use these models, PyTorch 2.0 is required. TII is now calling for proposals from users worldwide to submit their most creative ideas for Falcon 40B’s deployment – https://falconllm.tii.ae/call-for-proposal.php or you can pay to access it via Amazon SageMaker JumpStart.
A demo of Falcon-Chat is available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/falcon-chat. -
Technology Innovation Institute
Falcon-7B
FREEThe Technology Innovation Institute (TII), an Abu Dhabi government funded research institution, has introduced Falcon, a state-of-the-art autoregressive decoder-only language model series released under the Apache 2.0 license, which means it can be used for commerical and research uses. Falcon-7B only needs ~15GB and therefore is accessible even on consumer hardware. The model can support English, German, Spanish, French (and limited capabilities in Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish). It can be used to generate creative text and solve complex problems, chatbots, customer service operations, virtual assistants, language translation, content generation, and sentiment analysis.
This raw pretrained model should be finetuned for specific use cases. Falcon-7B-Instruct is also available at https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct.
If you are looking for a version better-suited model to take generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend Falcon-7B-Instruct rather than the base model. -

SageMaker
FREEAmazon SageMaker enables developers to create, train, and deploy machine-learning (ML) models in the cloud. SageMaker also enables developers to deploy ML models on embedded systems and edge-devices. Amazon SageMaker JumpStart helps you quickly and easily get started with machine learning. The solutions are fully customizable and supports one-click deployment and fine-tuning of more than 150 popular open source models such as natural language processing, object detection, and image classification models that can help with extracting and analyzing data, fraud detection, churn prediction and personalized recommendations.The Hugging Face LLM Inference DLCs on Amazon SageMaker, allows support the following models: BLOOM / BLOOMZ, MT0-XXL, Galactica, SantaCoder, GPT-Neox 20B (joi, pythia, lotus, rosey, chip, RedPajama, open assistant, FLAN-T5-XXL (T5-11B), Llama (vicuna, alpaca, koala), Starcoder / SantaCoder, and Falcon 7B / Falcon 40B. Hugging Face’s LLM DLC is a new purpose-built Inference Container to easily deploy LLMs in a secure and managed environment. -
StableLM
StableLM-Base-Alpha -7B
FREEStability AI released a new open-source language model, StableLM. The Alpha version of the model is available in 3 billion and 7 billion parameters. StableLM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on The Pile, but three times larger with 1.5 trillion tokens of content. The richness of this dataset gives StableLM surprisingly high performance in conversational and coding tasks, despite its small size. The models are now available on GitHub and on Hugging Face, and developers can freely inspect, use, and adapt our StableLM base models for commercial or research purposes subject to the terms of the CC BY-SA-4.0 license.

YaLM
FREEYaLM 100B is a GPT-like neural network for generating and processing text. It can be used freely by developers and researchers from all over the world. It took 65 days to train the model on a cluster of 800 A100 graphics cards and 1.7 TB of online texts, books, and countless other sources in both English and Russian. Researchers and developers can use the corporate-size solution to solve the most complex problems associated with natural language processing.Training details and best practices on acceleration and stabilizations can be found on Medium (English) and Habr (Russian) articles. The model is published under the Apache 2.0 license that permits both research and commercial use.
