How Open-Source Large Language Models are evolving

Posted on Sat 20 January 2024 in Machine Learning

I've been reading through the machine learning papers available at the Huggingface web site.

One paper that caught my attention was ChatGPT's One-year Anniversary: Are Open-Source Large Language Models Catching up?. It describes the progress of open-source LLMs and evaluates the claims that some of then are achieving parity with ChatGPT or are even better on certain tasks.

The paper discusses how various open-source LLMs compare along the dimensions of performance, specialized tasks, and trust and safety. It also describes the trends and challenges they face. It's basically a look at how the field of AI and these smart text-generating models are growing and improving.

The document concludes by advocating for continued exploration and improvement of open-source LLMs to harness their full potential.

I recommend the Huggingface Daily Papers web site to anyone interested in understanding more about large language models and other topics related to artificial intelligence.
