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. -
Cohere
Generate
$0.015Cohere is a Canadian startup that provides high-performance and secure LLMs for the enterprise. Their models work on public, private, or hybrid clouds.Cohere Generate can be used for tasks such as copywriting, named entity recognition, paraphrasing, and summarization. It can be particularly useful for automating time-consuming and repetitive copywriting tasks and re-wording text to suit a specific reader or context.Cohere Generate is available as an API that can be integrated into various libraries using Python, Node, or Go software development kits (SDKs).We have shown the price of the Cohere Generate Default version, but a Cohere Generate Custom model is available but is double the price (0.030 per 1/k tokens). However, custom models can lead to some of the best-performing NLP models for many tasks. -

GPT-3.5-turbo 16k
$0.004GPT-3.5-turbo 16k has the same capabilities as the standard gpt-3.5-turbo (4k model) but with 4 times the context but at twice the price. In general, a larger context window can be more powerful because it takes into account more information from the surrounding text, which can lead to better predictionsGPT-3.5-turbo was designed to provide better performance and is well-known as the model that, by default, powers ChatGPT. However, paying customers who subscribe to ChatGPT Plus can change the model to GPT-4 before you start a chat.GPT-3.5-turbo is optimized for conversational formats and is superior to GPT-3 models, and the performance of GPT-3.5-turbo is on par with Instruct Davinci-003. GPT-3.5-turbo was trained on a massive corpus of text data, including books, articles, and web pages from across the internet and is used for tasks like content and code generation, question answering, translation, and more. Access is available through a request to OpenAI’s API or through the web application (try for free). -

GPT-3.5-turbo 4k
$0.002GPT-3.5-turbo is an upgraded version of the GPT-3 model. It was designed to provide better performance and is well-known as the model that, by default, powers ChatGPT (however, paying customer who subscribe to ChatGPT Plus can change the model to GPT-4 before you start a chat).GPT-3.5-turbo is optimized for conversational formats and is superior to GPT-3 models, and the performance of GPT-3.5-turbo is on par with Instruct Davinci-003 (however is also ten times cheaper and has been seen to be three times faster). GPT-3.5-turbo was trained on a massive corpus of text data, including books, articles, and web pages from across the internet and is used for tasks like content and code generation, question answering, translation, and more. In some cases, GPT-3.5-turbo results can sometimes be too “chatty” or “creative”. Access is available through a request to OpenAI’s API or through the web application (try for free). -
OpenAI
GPT-4 32K context
$0.12GPT-4 is OpenAI’s new design that incorporates additional improvements and advancements, including being multimodal so it can take both text and image inputs. With broad general knowledge and domain expertise, GPT-4 can follow complex instructions in natural language and solve difficult problems with accuracy. GPT-4 has a more diverse range of training data, incorporating additional languages and sources beyond just English. This means that the model will be able to process and generate text in multiple languages and better understand the nuances and subtleties of different languages and dialects. This is the extended 32k token context-length model, which is separate to the 8k model (and is more expensive).
GPT-4 API access is now available.
Note: At the time of writing, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can access Chat GPT-4 by logging into the web application.

GPT-4 8K context
$0.06GPT-4 is OpenAI’s new design that incorporates additional improvements and advancements, including being multimodal so it can take both text and image inputs. With broad general knowledge and domain expertise, GPT-4 can follow complex instructions in natural language and solve difficult problems with accuracy. GPT-4 has a more diverse range of training data, incorporating additional languages and sources beyond just English. This means that the model will be able to process and generate text in multiple languages and better understand the nuances and subtleties of different languages and dialects. There are a few different GPT-4 models to choose from. The standard GPT-4 model offers 8k tokens for the context. GPT-4 API access is now available.
Note: For the ChatGPT web application, ChatGPT is powered by GPT-3.5 turbo by default. However, if you are a paying customer and subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, you can change the model to GPT-4 before you start a chat.

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. -

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. -
