AI is now FREE!
And just how exactly did OpenAI train ChatGPT on real authors works?
Mistral AI makes its first large language model (LLM) free for everyone
French AI startup Mistral AI has just released a huge LLM for anyone to use.
The most popular language models out there may be accessed via API, but open models — as far as that term can be taken seriously — are gaining ground.
The company has also started a GitHub repository and Discord channel for collaboration and troubleshooting.
Most importantly, the model was released under the Apache 2.0 license, a highly permissive scheme that has no restrictions on use or reproduction beyond attribution.
Mistral 7B’s performance demonstrates what small models can do with enough conviction.
For some (perhaps most), that list may sound like more than three months’ work, but the founders had a head start in that they had worked on similar models at Meta and Google DeepMind.
More Authors Sue Open AI
The Authors Guild lawsuit is the latest in a series brought by writers against OpenAI.
Douglas Preston (second from right), a novelist who joined the lawsuit was shocked when he asked ChatGPT to describe minor characters in his books and ChatGPT responded with detailed information that wasn’t available in reviews or Wikipedia entries for the novels.
“That’s when I looked at this and said, ‘My God, ChatGPT has read my books, how many of my books has it read?’” - Preston
A representative for OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Already, there has been a rise in A.I.-generated books on Amazon, including travel guides and books on plant and fungi foraging, which prompted the New York Mycological Society to issue a warning to avoid A.I.-generated guides.
It also limited the number of titles users can upload to its self-publishing platform each day, to three.
But let’s face it, KDP isn’t the problem. There are loads of low-quality books being uploaded daily. This is a big issue - and it begs the question of how this content was loaded into the LLM.
ChatGPT can search the web in real time..
ChatGPT can now search the web in real time
ChatGPT can now search the web in real time, providing answers from current and authoritative sources, and allowing users to verify the information and give credit to the sources.
This is the reason Bing has grown in popularity over the past few months grabbing over 100 Million users.
