In November 2023, computer scientist Kai-Fu Lee unveiled an open-source AI model that’s said to be bilingual. What does that mean? To be open-sourced?
Because AI has been having its moment since late 2022. Take generative AI, for instance. You open a large language model, write an input and get an input of text or photo or video, as per the model. It's cool. But, how does that happen?
There are said to be proprietary secrets guarding that. Usually, the AI model has an underlying source code that’s not openly available to the public. The code and architecture of the AI model are said to be kept private and are typically owned and controlled by a specific organization.
But, is there a paradigm shift that may invite everyone to partake in the magic of these intelligent systems?
