🌸BigScience Research Workshop BLOOM's intermediate checkpoints have already shown some very cool capabilities! What's great about BLOOM is that you can ask it to generate the rest of a text - and this even if it is not yet fully trained yet! 👶 🧵 A thread with some examples

For 111 days, we've enjoyed world-class hardware stability and throughput thanks to the hard work of our friends at Genci, @INS2I_CNRS, Megatron & DeepSpeed. Having reached our objective earlier than expected, we'll keep training for a few more days. Stay tuned, more soon ;)

BLOOM is here. The largest open-access multilingual language model ever. Read more about it or get it at bigscience.huggingface.co/blog/bloom hf.co/bigscience/blo…

The Technology Behind BLOOM Training🌸 Discover how BigScience Research Workshop used Microsoft Research DeepSpeed + NVIDIA Megatron-LM technologies to train the World's Largest Open Multilingual Language Model (BLOOM): huggingface.co/blog/bloom-meg…

What do Stability AI Emad #stablediffusion & BigScience Research Workshop Bloom - aka the coolest new models ;) - have in common? They both use a new gen of ML licenses aimed at making ML more open & inclusive while keeping it harder to do harm with them. So cool! huggingface.co/blog/open_rail

The super-fast inference solutions are finally here for all to use:

Crosslingual Generalization through Multitask Finetuning 🌸 Demo: huggingface.co/bigscience/blo… 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2211.01786 💻github.com/bigscience-wor… We present BLOOMZ & mT0, a family of models w/ up to 176B params that follow human instructions in >100 languages zero-shot. 1/7

The Bloom paper is out. Looks like it's doing worse than current GPT3 API in zero-shot generation tasks in English but better than other open-source LLMs & better than all in zs multi-lingual (which was the main goal). Proud of the work from the community! arxiv.org/abs/2211.05100
