Summary:[...]they enable critical research, and thus public knowledge, on the function and limitations of GPAI models. The Allen Institute for AI released ELMo in 2019, but the organization announced earlier in July that they may be refocusing away from developing language models. Since mid-2020, a collaborative group of researchers called EleutherAI managed to build open-source versions of large language models and scientific AI models.
