Hello Dolly: Democratizing the magic of ChatGPT with open models

Databricks has released an open source language model called Dolly , which has been trained on a small corpus of instruction data and fine-tuned to exhibit ChatGPT-like interactivity.

Despite being only 6 billion parameters and two years old, Dolly exhibits instruction-following capabilities such as brainstorming and text generation.

The release of Dolly is part of Databricks' effort to democratize large language models and help organizations build their own models rather than relying on centralized LLM providers.

However, the technology is still in its early stages and users should be aware of potential issues such as factual accuracy, bias, and offensive responses.
