Stanford University
Alpaca
FREEStanford 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. -
BigScience
BLOOM
FREEBigScience 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. -
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. -
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. -
EleutherAI
GPT-J
FREEEleutherAI 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. -
EleutherAI
GPT-NeoX-20B
FREEEleutherAI 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. -
RedPajama
RedPajama-INCITE-7B-Instruct
FREEThe RedPajama project aims to create a set of leading open source models. RedPajama-INCITE-7B-Instruct was developed by Together and leaders from the open source AI community. RedPajama-INCITE-7B-Instruct model represents the top-performing open source entry on the HELM benchmarks, surpassing other cutting-edge open models like LLaMA-7B, Falcon-7B, and MPT-7B. The instruct-tuned model is designed for versatility and shines when tasked with few-shot performance.The Instruct, Chat, Base Model, and ten interim checkpoints are now available on HuggingFace, and all the RedPajama LLMs come with commercial licenses under Apache 2.0.Play with the RedPajama chat model version here – https://lnkd.in/g3npSEbg -
Cohere
Summarize
$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 and is available as an API that can be integrated into various libraries using Python, Node, or Go software development kits (SDKs).Cohere Summarize generates a succinct version of a provided text. This summary relays the most important messages of the text, and a user can configure the results with a variety of parameters to support unique use cases. It can instantly encapsulate the key points of a document and provides text summarization capabilities at scale. -
LMSYS Org
Vicuna-13B
FREEVicuna-13B is an open-source chatbot developed by a team of researchers from UC Berkeley, CMU, Stanford, MBZUAI, and UC San Diego. The chatbot was trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. There is a 13B and 7B parameter models that are available on Hugging Face.
Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90% quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90% of cases. The code and weights and an online demo are publicly available for non-commercial use. Here is a link to learn more about how it compares to other models – https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-03-30-vicuna/.
To use this model, you need to install LLaMA weights first and convert them into Hugging Face weights, and the cost of training Vicuna-13B is around $300.
