BARD
FREEGoogle’s Bard is now powered by PaLM 2, the new powerful LLM launched in May 2023. PaLM 2 is trained on a massive dataset of text and code. Bard can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. Bard is programmed to use the web to find the most recent answers to questions. This means that when you ask Bard a question, it will not only use its knowledge of the world to answer your question, but it will also use the internet to find the most recent information on the topic. This allows Bard to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information possible (very cool).The exact billing structure for Bard is still under development (it is free to try at the moment) but you will likely be able to purchase tokens in bulk at a discounted price. According to Google, you may also be able to use tokens you have earned through other means, such as completing surveys or participating in beta testing programs. -

BERT
FREEBERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) was introduced in 2018 by researchers at Google AI. BERT uses AI in the form of natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU), and sentiment analysis to process every word in a search query in relation to all the other words in a sentence, giving it a robust understanding of context and semantics. This pre-training process is incredibly powerful and the learned weights can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create models for a variety of NLP tasks such as question answering and sentiment analysis. You can download the smaller BERT models for FREE from the official BERT GitHub page. -

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.

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. -

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). -
