Reply to comment by Disastrous_Elk_6375 in [R] Hello Dolly: Democratizing the magic of ChatGPT with open models by austintackaberry

WSJ:

“Databricks Launches ‘Dolly,’ Another ChatGPT Rival The data-management startup introduced an open-source language model for developers to build their own AI-powered chatbot apps” (Apparently DB paid them)

DB’s blog:

“Democratizing the magic of ChatGPT with open models”

Introduced? ChatGPT rival? Didn’t you just follow Stanford’s approach? You used Stanford’s dataset which was generated by GPT right? huh? This is Stanford’s achievement not DB’s. DB went too far on marketing.

This is the blog post that I've read. I can't comment on the WSJ article, and your original message implied a bunch of things that, IMO, were not found in the blog post. If you don't like the WSJ angle, your grief should be with them, not databricks. shrug

From the actual blog:

> We show that anyone can take a dated off-the-shelf open source large language model (LLM) and give it magical ChatGPT-like instruction following ability by training it in 30 minutes on one machine, using high-quality training data.

> Acknowledgments > > This work owes much to the efforts and insights of many incredible organizations. This would have been impossible without EleutherAI open sourcing and training GPT-J. We are inspired by the incredible ideas and data from the Stanford Center for Research on Foundation Models and specifically the team behind Alpaca. The core idea behind the outsized power of small dataset is thanks to the original paper on Self-Instruct. We are also thankful to Hugging Face for hosting, open sourcing, and maintaining countless models and libraries; their contribution to the state of the art cannot be overstated.

More to the point of your original message, I searched for "innovative" "innovation" "inovate" and found 0 results in the blog post. I stand by my initial take, the blog post was fair, informative and pretty transparent in what they've done, how, and why.

Well if you ever worked with marketing or communication teams you would’ve known that DB co-authored the WSJ article. My point is that the democratization is an achievement of the Stanford Alpaca team, not DB. DB marketed it like they did the major work which is untrue.

That's fair. But you commented out of context, on a post that linked to the blog and not the WSJ article. That's on you.

Well if you have connections you would’ve seen they made a good amount of posts.
