> we are training a full suite of models, with the first becoming available in the coming weeks.

Sounds like they already have the compute and began training.

For example, you can look up semantically relevant ( to a user query ) paragraphs from some internal document. Then, include them in the LLM context so it would know how to answer the query. Basically, that's the idea behind many ChatGPT plugins.

row 7 is the name of the dataset, you might need to load it yourself

I'm going through the dataset with your datasette tool and it looks like it might be a good idea to clean things up a bit. There are many duplicates[1], creepypastas[2] and other strange things in there.

EDIT: Maybe I'm passing link wrong, the query I'm using is

select count(instruction), instruction, group_concat(context, ' ============= ') as c, group_concat(response, ' ============= ') as r, group_concat(category, ' ============= ') as cat from [databricks-dolly-15k] group by instruction having count(instruction)>1 order by count(instruction)desc limit 100

[databricks-dolly-15k] should be the name of dataset, first column is the number of instruction duplicates

Creepypastas are responses to instruction:

It looks like you're on python 3.11 which has some issues with Pytorch. Downgrade to python 3.10 and try running it again.

A question to the author. Can you perform an ablation study with respect to the chunks? In other words, if you put in the context irrelevant/random chunks from the document would the quality of answers decrease/stay similar?

Potential issue might be that chunks just serve to activate massive knowledge of GPT4 and not actually used as a basis for an answer. For example, GPT4 has surely seen Dune in its training corpus and could be answering from memory.

The FTC link has an example of the only newspaper in town refusing to deal with customers who are also running ads on a radio station. Do you think if the newspaper dressed such refusal as a ToS violation it would fly with FTC?

Google might be banning people for enforceable violations of their ToS but imagine the uproar if they banned a Bing engineer for using Google search to find solutions for some Bing problem (which is similar to the problem here). The upside for Google or OpenAI would be somewhat limited but the downside is almost boundless.

ToS are not the law. It would be similar to your power company claiming copyright over the code written using "their" electricity. Not going to happen. I wouldn't be too concerned.

They are instruction tuning it using the dataset released by stanford-alpaca team. The dataset itself is synthetic (created using GPT-3) and somewhat noisy and in my view can be easily recreated if OpenAI ever tries to go after it (which is very unlikely). Anyway, facebook has nothing to do with anything used by this project.

This has nothing to do with facebook. The foundational model here is GPT-J which is opensource and safe to use. Sadly, it is inferior to state-of-the-art models such as LLaMA.
