FreeWilly2: An Open-Source AI Language Model

FreeWilly2 is a powerful, open-source AI language model developed by Stability AI. Built upon the Llama2 70B dataset and further refined using supervised fine-tuning on an internal Orca-style dataset, it employs auto-regressive techniques to generate human-quality text. This model is freely available for research purposes under the Non-Commercial Creative Commons license (CC BY-NC-4.0).

Features

• Conversational Interaction: Engage with FreeWilly2 through a structured prompt format including system, user, and assistant prompts, fostering natural and engaging conversations.
• HuggingFace Integration: Leveraging the HuggingFace Transformers library, FreeWilly2 offers seamless integration with existing workflows.
• Llama2 Foundation: Built on the extensive Llama2 dataset, FreeWilly2 benefits from a reduced bias and toxicity compared to some other models.
• Open-Source & Accessible: The model's open-source nature promotes transparency and allows for community contributions and advancements.

Benefits

• Research-Focused: Ideal for researchers exploring large language models, their capabilities, and limitations.
• Cost-Effective: Being open-source, FreeWilly2 eliminates licensing fees, making it accessible to a wider audience.
• Improved Bias Mitigation: While not entirely bias-free, the Llama2 foundation helps mitigate some common issues found in other models.

Use Cases

• Text Generation: Create various forms of text, including stories, articles, and summaries.
• Research and Development: Explore and experiment with different prompt engineering techniques.
• Educational Purposes: Utilize the model for learning and understanding the inner workings of large language models.

Important Note: While efforts have been made to mitigate bias and toxicity, FreeWilly2 outputs should not be taken as factual or definitive.
