I just want to note the replies to this thread are excessively dismissive and toxic. You may not agree with the wording of their advertising ("world's most powerful NLP toolkit" is marketing speak, sure) but going from that to implying the technical side is "only Min-GPT" is tremendously weird. As someone who works in machine learning and specifically language models this is a team I'm keeping an eye on.

For anyone who wanted more technical discussion re: ML / LM (though the author notes this work "[does] not reflect the architectures or latencies of my employer's models" i.e. it's an exploratory technical breakdown of general model characteristics) I've appreciated the technical write-ups from @kipperrii (ML ops @ Cohere) recently:
