The story of one crazy week in March (and several slightly less crazy weeks in April, May, and June) working on modeling the COVID-19 pandemic in California: towardsdatascience.com/48-hours-to-re… This was the best working experience of my life and an absolute privilege to be a part of it.

Dolly, a ChatGPT-like LLM anyone can train at low cost was just open sourced by Databricks. The team releasing this includes former SkipFlag teammates Mike Conover and Matt Hayes working with co-founder Sam Shah

Free Dolly! Introducing the first *commercially viable*, open source, instruction-following LLM. Dolly 2.0 is available for commercial applications without having to pay for API access or sharing data with 3rd parties. bit.ly/43oXmsy

Databricks just released Dolly 2.0: the first open-source, instruction-following LLM licensed for commercial use. - 12B parameter LLM based on EleutherAI pythia model family - training code, dataset, and model weights all licensed for commercial use. databricks.com/blog/2023/04/1…

@Databricks just released the first commercially usable, instruction-tuned open-source LLM Might be a bigger step forward for open-source than LLaMA, Alpaca, et al I'm sitting here reading the story of how they got there and it's just incredible:

With the Dolly 2.0 release yesterday we heard a lot of people saying they wanted smaller models that can fit on consumer grade GPU’s. Here you go! Checkpoints from 2.8B and 6.9B now on the Databricks Hugging Face page! 🐑🚀 huggingface.co/databricks/dol…

Just in time for the weekend, all the details on how we created Databricks’ Dolly on this episode of the Latent Space podcast w Alessio Fanelli & swyx 🗽 AIE CODE. From the nitty gritty of instruction tuning to how AI will change society, this was a great conversation. latent.space/p/mike-conover
