    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.

    BARD

    FREE
    Google’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

    FREE
    BERT (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.

Bing Search APIs provide a variety of APIs with trained models for your use. The Bing Search APIs add intelligent search to your app, combining hundreds of billions of webpages, images, videos, and news to provide relevant results without ads. The results can be automatically customized to your user’s locations or markets, increasing relevancy by staying local. There are various prices for Bing Search APIs which are dependent on the feature. For customers who are interested in more flexible terms related to presenting Bing API results with their models check out the website for prices per 1,000 transactions.

    BLOOM

    FREE
    BigScience 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.

  • ChatGLM

    ChatGLM-6B

    FREE
    Researchers at the Tsinghua University in China have worked on developing the ChatGLM series of models that have comparable performance to other models such as GPT-3 and BLOOM. ChatGLM-6B is an open bilingual language model (trained on Chinese and English). It is based on General Language Model (GLM) framework, with 6.2B parameters. With the quantization technique, users can deploy locally on consumer-grade graphics cards (only 6GB of GPU memory is required at the INT4 quantization level). The following models are available: ChatGLM-130B (an open source LLM), ChatGLM-100B (not open source but available through invite-only access), and ChatGLM-6 (a lightweight open source alternative). ChatGLM LLMs are available with a Apache-2.0 license that allows commercial use. We have included the link to the Hugging Face page where you can try the ChatGLM-6B Chatbot for free.

    Chinchilla AI

    OTHER

    Google’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.
