Quick takeaways

Several open source language models have achieved parity or even surpassed chat GPT in various task domains, inspiring further research and development to bridge the gap with paid counterparts.

Richard Hipp and his team have implemented a new JSON binary representation in SQLite, potentially making it several times faster than the original and holding great promise for the widely used SQL engine.

Advancements of Open Source Language Models in AI

One year after the introduction of chat GPT, a group of researchers conducted a survey to assess the progress of open source language models (LLMs) in comparison to chat GPT. The researchers found that several high-performing open source LLMs have achieved parity or even surpassed chat GPT in various task domains. The survey provides valuable insights, analysis, and potential issues of these open source LLMs, inspiring further research and development to bridge the gap with their paid counterparts.
