code generation (code-bison)
$0.002Based on Google’s PaLM 2 large language model, the company specifically trained Codey APIs to handle coding-related prompts, but it also trained the model to handle queries related to Google Cloud.
code generation (code-bison) generates code based on a natural language description of the desired code. For example, it can generate a unit test for a function. The code generation API supports the code-bison model. The Codey APIs support a wide range of programming languages, including C++, C#, Go, GoogleSQL, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Swift, and TypeScript. You can run with the API and in Generative AI Studio.
Some common use cases for code generation include creating unit tests, where you can design a prompt to request a unit test for a specific function; writing a function, which involves passing a problem to the model and receiving a function that solves the problem; and creating a class, where you can use a prompt to describe the purpose of a class and have the code defining that class returned to you.
Note: We have converted characters to tokens for the prices (based on the approximation of 4 characters per 1 token).

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. -

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. -
Aleph Alpha
Luminous-base
$0.0055Aleph Alpha have the Luminous large language model. Luminous models vary in size, price and parameters. Luminous-base speaks and writes 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and the model can perform information extraction, language simplification and has multi-capable image description capability. Aleph Alpha is targeting “critical enterprises” — organizations like law firms, healthcare providers and banks, which rely heavily on trustable, accurate information. You can try Aleph Alpha models for free. Go to the Jumpstart page on their site and click through the examples on Classification and Labelling, Generation, Information Extraction, Translation & Conversion and Multimodal. Aleph Alpha are based in Europe, allowing customers with sensitive data to process their information in compliance with European regulations for data protection and security on a sovereign, European computing infrastructure. -

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. -
