The Data Weekly — 6.03.2023
First “The Data Weekly” digest is here! There are some exiting news from the world of AI and LLM. Let’s get started:
- Meta introduce its large language model LLaMa (https://ai.facebook.com/blog/large-language-model-llama-meta-ai/) and creates a queue for the weights access, meanwhile it appears on torrents: https://github.com/shawwn/llama-dl
- OpenAI releases API access to the gpt-3.5-turbo model (https://openai.com/blog/introducing-chatgpt-and-whisper-apis), same as used in ChatGPT. It is not free, but quite affordable with the price of $0.002 per 1k tokens. And if it is also more then you want to spend on it, there are always free alternatives like GPT-J or Jurassic-1.
- Whisper, the speech-to-text model that was opensourced already got its v2 update and direct OpenAI API with the price of $0.006 / minute. Previous version can be found on HuggingFace (https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large)
- Copilot for Business is now available — Copilot is a development tool created by GitHub and OpenAI to help developers was previously available for individuals with rate 10$ per month, now also available for organisations at 19$ per user per month
- TensorFlow Decision Forests is production ready — a new release of FT decision forests library. Not sure why to use it though, while good-old sklearn is still available.
