Language Models for Everyone—Responsible and Transparent Development of Open Large Language Models
Daniel Gillblad · 2023
Large language and multimodal models are revolutionising many aspects of human work and creativity, with broad potential not only as chatbots and for information retrieval but as interaction points and integrators of large technical systems. However, these technologies’ significance comes with societal challenges regarding accessibility, applicability, alignment, and inclusion. The development of open-source large language models may lead to more transparent and responsible use of such technologies. Here, we discuss the importance of open language models, their challenges, and how they were managed in a specific use case.
