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. -

BLOOM
FREEBigScience Large Open-science Open-access Multilingual Language Model (BLOOM) is a transformer-based LLM. Over 1,000 AI researchers created it to provide a free large language model for everyone who wants to try and it is a multilingual LLM. BLOOM is an autoregressive Large Language Model (LLM), trained to continue text from a prompt on vast amounts of text data using industrial-scale computational resources. It can output coherent text in 46 languages and 13 programming languages. It is free, and everybody who wants to can try it out. To interact with the API, you’ll need to request a token. This is done with a post request to the server. Tokens are only valid for two weeks. After which, a new one must be generated. Trained on around 176B parameters, it is considered an alternative to OpenAI models. There is a downloadable model, and a hosted API is available. -
BloombergGPT
BloombergGPT
OTHERBloombergGPT represents the first step in developing and applying LLM and generative AI technology for the financial industry. Bloomberg GPT has been trained on enormous amounts of financial data and is purpose-built for finance. The mixed dataset training leads to a model that outperforms existing LLMs on financial tasks by significant margins without sacrificing performance on general LLM benchmarks. Bloomberg GPT can perform a range of NLP tasks such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, news classification, and even writing headlines. With Bloomberg GPT, traders and analysts can perform financial analysis and insights more quickly and efficiently, saving valuable time that can be used for other critical tasks. To use Bloomberg GPT, you need access to Bloomberg’s terminal software (a platform investors and financial professionals use to access real-time market data, breaking news, financial research, and advanced analytics). Bloomberg also offers a variety of other subscription options, including subscriptions for financial institutions, universities, and governments. The price of a Bloomberg terminal varies depending on the type of subscription and the number of users. -
Deepmind
Chinchilla AI
OTHERGoogle’s DeepMind Chinchilla AI is still in the testing phase. Once released, Chinchilla AI will be useful for developing various artificial intelligence tools, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and predictive models. It functions in a manner analogous to that of other large language models such as GPT-3 (175B parameters), Jurassic-1 (178B parameters), Gopher (280B parameters), and Megatron-Turing NLG (300B parameters) but because Chinchilla is smaller (70B parameters), inference and fine-tuning costs less, easing the use of these models for smaller companies or universities that may not have the budget or hardware to run larger models.

MT-NLG
OTHERMT-NLG (Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation) uses the architecture of the transformer-based Megatron to generate coherent and contextually relevant text for a range of tasks, including completion prediction, reading comprehension, commonsense reasoning, natural language inferences, and word sense disambiguation. MT-NLG is the successor to Microsoft Turing NLG 17B and NVIDIA Megatron-LM 8.3B. The MT-NLG model is three times larger than GPT-3 (530B vs 175B). Following the original Megatron work, NVIDIA and Microsoft trained the model on over 4,000 GPUs. NVIDIA has announced an Early Access program for its managed API service to the MT-NLG model for organizations and researchers. -

NeMo
FREENVIDIA NeMo, part of the NVIDIA AI platform, is an end-to-end, cloud-native enterprise framework to help build, customize, and deploy generative AI models. NeMo makes generative AI model development easy, cost-effective and fast for enterprises. NeMo has separate collections for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) models. Each collection consists of prebuilt modules that include everything needed to train on your data. NeMo framework supports both language and image generative AI models. Currently, the workflow for language is in open beta, and the workflow for images is in early access. You must be a member of the NVIDIA Developer Program and logged in with your organization’s email address to access it. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which is a permissive open source license that allows for commercial use. -
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.

Vicuna-13B
FREEVicuna-13B is an open-source chatbot developed by a team of researchers from UC Berkeley, CMU, Stanford, MBZUAI, and UC San Diego. The chatbot was trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. There is a 13B and 7B parameter models that are available on Hugging Face.
Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90% quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90% of cases. The code and weights and an online demo are publicly available for non-commercial use. Here is a link to learn more about how it compares to other models – https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-03-30-vicuna/.
To use this model, you need to install LLaMA weights first and convert them into Hugging Face weights, and the cost of training Vicuna-13B is around $300.
