The AI landscape is witnessing a significant shift with the advent of open source large language models (LLMs), and the latest one is the Dolly Large Language Model (DLL). Databricks, the enterprise software company behind Dolly, has brought forth a ChatGPT clone that’s making waves in the AI community. But why is Dolly so important, and what does it mean for the future of AI?

The Birth of Dolly: An Open Source ChatGPT Clone

Dolly, named after the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, is a testament to the potential of open source AI. With its creation, Databricks aims to provide greater access to AI technology and prevent its monopolization by large corporations.

The model is based on open source contributions from the EleutherAI research institute, the Stanford University Alpaca model, and the 65 billion parameter LLaMA model from Meta. Interestingly, LLaMA can outperform many top language models like OpenAI’s GPT-3, Deep Mind’s Gopher, and Chinchilla, despite being smaller.
