The web demo of Alpaca, a small AI language model based on Meta's LLaMA system, has been taken down offline by researchers at Stanford University due to safety and cost concerns.
Access to large language models containing hundreds or tens of billions of parameters are often restricted to companies that have the resources required to train and run them. Meta planned to share the code for its LLaMA system with select researchers in an attempt to spur research into why language models generate toxic and false text. Meta hoped it could do so without requiring researchers to acquire massive hardware systems.
