Stability AI recently released an open-source language-model tool, StableLM, to contribute to the fast-growing large language-model ecosystem. StableLM is an alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which was causing some concerns due to Microsoft, OpenAI's primary investor, having too much power in the industry. With its alpha version, StableLM features 3 and 7 billion paramater models, with 15, 30 and 65 billion parameter models currently in development. Try the 7 billion parameter StableLM live model on HuggingFace.
