Test it in preview on Hugging Face: StableLM

StableLM : The open source alternative to ChatGPT

Introduction to StableLM

Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion, has developed StableLM, an open source language model designed to compete with ChatGPT. Offering two distinct versions, StableLM intends to democratize access to artificial intelligence technologies. In addition, the company is exploring the creation of even more powerful models.

Targeted linguistic models

The goal of Stability AI is to prove that smaller, optimized models can provide excellent performance with proper training. Stable LM is based on a new experimental dataset derived from The Pile (but tripling its size). This allows this AI to shine, especially in programming-related activities.

StableLM availability and usage

The StableLM models are available on Stability AI’s Github, with detailed technical documentation expected soon. Stable LM aspires to rival GPT-3, which has 175 billion parameters, using only 7 billion parameters, making it easy to integrate on various devices.

SDXL: Innovative model for image generation

Stability AI has introduced SDXL (Stable Diffusion Extra Large), a beta AI model designed to generate images from descriptive text. SDXL is more sophisticated than the original SD model, allowing it to produce images that are more faithful to elaborate instructions.

How to test StableLM

This AI is currently in beta phase on various specialized applications like Hugging Face or GitHub. Very soon, it will be released as open source and thus accessible to all. Nevertheless, if you are impatient, you can already test it for free by going to HuggingFace.com

Conclusion

Founded in 2019 in London, Stability AI is rapidly expanding through its open source models. Despite copyright challenges and controversies, the company continues to grow and innovate. StableLM is thus positioned as an interesting open source alternative to ChatGPT but also to Bard from Google.
