  • Q: What is EleutherAI?
  • A: EleutherAI is an open-source project focused on advancing the field of artificial intelligence by creating high-quality language models that are freely available to the public. The project was founded in 2020 by a group of researchers who wanted to create a community-driven alternative to the large tech companies that dominate the AI industry. EleutherAI is committed to open science, transparency, and collaboration, and is entirely run by volunteers from around the world. The project's flagship language model is called GPT-Neo, which is an open-source implementation of the GPT architecture that is comparable in size and performance to models developed by large tech companies.

  • EleutherAI is a grass-roots non-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research group. The group, considered an open source version of OpenAI, was formed in a Discord server in July 2020, two years before it was officially incorporated. Despite a lack of formal funding or organizational structure, it rapidly became a leading player in natural language processing research, releasing the largest open-source GPT-3-like model in the world March 21, 2021.
