Meet RedPajama: An AI Project to Create Fully Open-Source Large Language Models Beginning with the Release of a 1.2 Trillion Token Dataset
The most advanced foundation models for AI are only partially open-source and are only available through commercial APIs. This restricts their use and limits research and customization. However, a project called RedPajama now aims to create leading, fully open-source models. The first step of this project, reproducing the LLaMA training dataset, has been completed. Open-source models have made significant progress recently, and AI is experiencing a moment similar to the Linux movement. Stable Diffusion demonstrated that open-source models could compete with commercial offerings and encourage creativity through community participation. A similar movement has now emerged around large language models, with
