Meta open sources a language model built on publicly available data that outperforms GPT-3 (at less than 1/10th the inference cost)
!
Clear threat to openAI/MSFT
This could take the wind out of OpenAI’s language API calls just like Stable Diffusion shifted developer activity away from Dall-E
Suspect you’ll see a lot of activity migrate over to this.
All AI startups that have a call to an openAI GPT-3 API will want to look at running direct on AWS using this much less expensive model as the foundation
A reinforcement learning with human feedback overlay on top of this model may become a separate part of the value chain.
In effect packaged human tuning of this open source model becomes its own business.
(There is a real discrepancy between the attributed license and the terms that Meta asks you to sign to when you request the model weights)
