About Stable LM

Stable LM: Stability AI Language Models.

The release of Stable LM builds on our experience in open-sourcing earlier language models with EleutherAI, a nonprofit research hub. These language models include GPT-J, GPT-NeoX, and the Pythia suite, which were trained on The Pile open-source dataset. Many recent open-source language models continue to build on these efforts, including Cerebras-GPT and Dolly-2.

Stable LM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on The Pile, but three times larger with 1.5 trillion tokens of content. We will release details on the dataset in due course. The richness of this dataset gives Stable LM surprisingly high performance in conversational and coding tasks, despite its small size of 3 to 7 billion parameters (by comparison, GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters).

Stable LM 3B is a compact language model designed to operate on portable digital devices like handhelds and laptops, and we’re excited about its capabilities and portability.

Dolly

Dolly is a cheap-to-build LLM that exhibits a surprising degree of the instruction following capabilities exhibited by ChatGPT. Whereas the work from the Alpaca team showed that state-of-the-art models could be coaxed into high quality instruction-following behavior, we find that even years-old open source models with much earlier architectures exhibit striking behaviors when fine tuned on a small corpus of instruction training data. Dolly works by taking an existing open source 6 billion parameter model from EleutherAI and modifying it ever so slightly to elicit instruction following capabilities such as brainstorming and text generation not present in the original model, using data from Alpaca.

Cerebras-GPT

State-of-the-art language models are extremely challenging to train; they require huge compute budgets, complex distributed compute techniques and deep ML expertise. As a result, few organizations train large language models (LLMs) from scratch. And increasingly those that have the resources and expertise are not open sourcing the results, marking a significant change from even a few months back. At Cerebras, we believe in fostering open access to the most advanced models. With this in mind, we are proud to announce the release to the open source community of Cerebras-GPT, a family of seven GPT models ranging from 111 million to 13 billion parameters. Trained using the Chinchilla formula, these models provide the highest accuracy for a given compute budget. Cerebras-GPT has faster training times, lower training costs, and consumes less energy than any publicly available model to date.

Falcon-40B

Falcon-40B is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 1,000B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license. Why use Falcon-40B? It is the best open-source model currently available. Falcon-40B outperforms LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard. It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention and multiquery. It is made available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license allowing for commercial use, without any royalties or restrictions. ⚠️ This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases. If you are looking for a version better suited to taking generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend taking a look at Falcon-40B-Instruct.
