    Alpaca

    FREE
    Stanford 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.

    Falcon-40B

    OTHER
    The 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.

    Falcon-7B

    FREE

    The 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.

  • EleutherAI

    GPT-J

    FREE
    EleutherAI 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.

    GPT-NeoX-20B

    FREE
    EleutherAI 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

    FREE

    Stability 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.

    VALL-E

    OTHER
    VALL-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).

    YaLM

    FREE
    YaLM 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.
