By December 2020, EleutherAI had introduced The Pile, a comprehensive text dataset designed for training models. Subsequently, tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta, and Google used this dataset for training their models. In March 2021, they revealed GPT-Neo, an open-source model under Apache 2.0 license, which was unmatched in size at its launch. EleutherAI’s later projects include the release of GPT-J, a 6 billion parameter model, and GPT-NeoX, a 20 billion parameter model, unveiled in February 2022. Their work demonstrates the viability of high-quality open-source AI models.

Yeah, if that is your requirement you should definitely ignore chatterbot, as its older and probably not what your teacher wants. I'm looking at the gpt-neo docs right now: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo

3.) EleutherAI's GPT-Neo and GPT-NeoX: EleutherAI is an independent research organization that aims to promote open research in artificial intelligence. They have released GPT-Neo, an open-source language model based on the GPT architecture, and are developing GPT-NeoX, a highly-scalable GPT-like model. You can find more information on their GitHub repositories: GPT-Neo: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo GPT-NeoX: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox

This is one of the first comprehensive plugins that has been rewritten to support multiple AI backends such as OpenAI GPT3+ and other custom sources in the future such as ChatGPT, GPT-J, GPT-neo and more.

GPT-Neo is newer than GPT-2 on the open source side of things. In my experience, it tends to give longer and more creative responses than GPT-2 but not on the level of GPT-3. I've not tried GPT-J or GPT-NeoX, but they're also open source and reportedly better than GPT-Neo (albeit less accessible).

Finally, yes-- it is trained via masked language modeling (text prediction). The approach has been fairly standard for years- the big difference with the GPT* models is the number of paramaters and volume of text-- we still haven't reached a ceiling with LLM parameters- they appear to keep improving with size. This training allows the model to learn a strong representation of language. Their training approach is published and open-source GPT* versions have already been made and released (https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo). However, the models are huge and can't be run locally for hobbyists. This gets at larger issues in democratization of ML.
