This is huge.
Falcon 40B is the most powerful open source language model to date. And it is now available for commercial use, completely royalty-free!
Something OpenAI might not like that much, maybe? :)
In this post we’ll check out
- why this is a game-changer for the AI industry,
- what is unique about Falcon 40B,
- and how you can test the new open-source language model yourself.
Why Is This A Game-Changer?
First of all: it’s 100% open source 🥳
- Remarkably, for a model that is in the same league as OpenAI’s GPT-3, everything that went into its development has been disclosed — from the training data to the training recipe.
- This transparency is invaluable for researchers, especially compared to OpenAI’s GPT-4, where such details have not been fully disclosed.
- And, of course, anyone can freely implement its capabilities into their products.
