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. -
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. -
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. -
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.

Microsoft
VALL-E
OTHERVALL-E is a LLM for text to speech synthesis (TTS) developed by Microsoft (technically it is a neural codec language model). Its creators state that VALL-E could be used for high-quality text-to-speech applications, speech editing where a recording of a person could be edited and changed from a text transcript (making them say something they originally didn’t), and audio content creation when combined with other generative AI models. Studies indicate that VALL-E notably surpasses the leading zero-shot TTS system regarding speech authenticity and resemblance to the speaker. Furthermore, it has been observed that VALL-E is capable of retaining the emotional expression and ambient acoustics of the speaker within the synthesized output. Unfortunately, VALL-E is not available for any form of public consumption at this time. At the time of writing, VALL-E is a research project, and there is no customer onboarding queue or waitlist (but you can apply to be part of the first testers group). -

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.
