This feeds into one of the key trends I predicted for 2023: the evolution of open-source initiatives to democratise (Gen) AI.

AWS and Hugging Face collaboration prevents AI monopolies
By
–
I’ve contemplated a future where a few well-resourced actors own and control powerful AI systems – and I have to say, this doesn't necessarily strike me as a good idea. Collabs like this between AWS and @huggingface are going help prevent AI monopolies.

Hugging Face AWS collaboration makes generative models widely accessible
By
–
Why the @huggingface / @awscloud collab is a bid deal: Hugging Face is on a mission to make the best generative models (which require a lot of data, computing power and basically $$$$$) widely accessible.

Open Dataset Approach: LLaMA’s Reproducible Alternative to Chinchilla and GPT-3
By
–
Unlike Chinchilla, PaLM, or GPT-3, we only use datasets publicly available, making our work compatible with open-sourcing and reproducible, while most existing models rely on data which is either not publicly available or undocumented.

Models trained on 1T tokens with continued improvement at 7B scale
By
–
All our models were trained on at least 1T tokens, much more than what is typically used at this scale.
Interestingly, even after 1T tokens the 7B model was still improving.
