Made by the same company that created the Stable Diffusion imager, the language model promises GPT-3-like results with improved efficiency
Stability AI has risen to fame in recent months with Stable Diffusion, an AI imaging model. Now he will leave for the field of writing. The company has announced an open source alternative to ChatGPT called StableLM.
StableLM generates the text by predicting what the next token will be, as the word fragment is called. The sequence begins with information provided by a human.
It works very similar to GPT-4, the Large Language Model (LLM) which serves as the foundation for ChatGPT.
“Language models will form the backbone of our digital economy and we want everyone to have a say in these projects,” Stability AI says in the blog post announcing the news. “Models like StableLM demonstrate our commitment to transparent, accessible and supportive AI technologies.”
StableLM promises to be more efficient
For now, StableLM is in alpha stage. It was made available on GitHub, in size of 3 billion and 7 billion parameters. Stability AI promises that 15 billion and 65 billion metric models will be released soon.
Parameters are variables used by a model to learn from training data. Smaller numbers mean models can be more efficient, being able to run locally on notebooks or smartphones.
On the other hand, they need more elaborate designs to be able to deliver good results using fewer resources.
StableLM is yet another of the large language models that promises performance close to OpenAI’s GPT-3 with fewer parameters: GPT-3 uses 175 billion.
Others are LLaMA of Meta; Stanford alpacas; cart 2.0; and Cerebras-GPT.
The models are made available under the Creative Commons BY-SA-4.0 license. This means that derivative projects must credit the original author and be shared using the same license.
For now it is possible to test a version of the model with 7 billion parameters already customized for chatbots in Hugging Face.
