“The multilingual open model that proved a collaboration could release weights at GPT-3 scale.”
A 176B trained in public.
BLOOM was too big for a homelab, but petals, quantization, and the idea of a public 176B changed what 'open' meant. Local's political ancestor.
Opened truly large public generative weights.
