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. -
Cohere
Generate
$0.015Cohere is a Canadian startup that provides high-performance and secure LLMs for the enterprise. Their models work on public, private, or hybrid clouds.Cohere Generate can be used for tasks such as copywriting, named entity recognition, paraphrasing, and summarization. It can be particularly useful for automating time-consuming and repetitive copywriting tasks and re-wording text to suit a specific reader or context.Cohere Generate is available as an API that can be integrated into various libraries using Python, Node, or Go software development kits (SDKs).We have shown the price of the Cohere Generate Default version, but a Cohere Generate Custom model is available but is double the price (0.030 per 1/k tokens). However, custom models can lead to some of the best-performing NLP models for many tasks. -

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. -
Meta AI
Llama
FREEMeta has created Llama (Large Language Model Meta AI), its state-of-the-art foundational large language model designed to help researchers advance their work in this subfield of AI. Smaller, more performant models such as LLaMA enable others in the research community who don’t have access to large amounts of infrastructure to study these models, further democratizing access in this important, fast-changing field.Training smaller foundation models like Llama is desirable in the Large Language Model space because it requires far less computing power and resources to test new approaches, validate others’ work, and explore new use cases. Foundation models train on a large set of unlabeled data, which makes them ideal for fine-tuning for a variety of tasks. Meta is making Llama available at several sizes (7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters) and they also share a Llama model card that details how we built the model in keeping with our approach to responsible AI practices. -

Llama 2
FREEMeta has released Llama 2. It has an open license, which allows commercial use for businesses. Llama 2 will be available for use in the Hugging Face Transformers library from today (you will need to sign Meta’s Llama 2 Community License Agreement – https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/, via MSFT Azure cloud computing service, and through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart).Llama 2 is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. Llama 2 is intended for commercial and research use in English. It comes in a range of parameter sizes—7 billion, 13 billion, and 70 billion—as well as pre-trained and fine-tuned variations. According to Meta, the tuned versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align to human preferences for helpfulness and safety. Llama 2 was pre-trained on 2 trillion tokens of data from publicly available sources. The tuned models are intended for assistant-like chat, whereas pre-trained models can be adapted for a variety of natural language generation tasks.Link to the live demo of Llama2 70B Chatbot -https://huggingface.co/spaces/ysharma/Explore_llamav2_with_TGI -

$0.0021535PaLM 2 has just launched (May 2023) and is Google’s next-generation Large Language Model, built on Google’s Pathways AI architecture. PaLM 2 was trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and it can handle many different tasks and learn new ones quickly. It is seen as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model. It excels at advanced reasoning tasks, including code and math, classification and question answering, translation and multilingual proficiency (100 languages), and natural language generation better than our previous state-of-the-art LLMs, including its predecessor PaLM.PaLM 2 is the underlying model driving the PaLM API that can be accessed through Google’s Generative AI Studio. PaLM 2 has four submodels with different sizes. Bison is the best value in terms of capability and chat-bison-001 has been fine-tuned for multi-turn conversation use cases.
