"BLOOM was created over the last year by over 1,000 volunteer researchers in a
project called BigScience, which was coordinated by AI startup Hugging Face
using funding from the French government. It officially launched on July 12.
The researchers hope developing an open-access LLM that performs as well as
other leading models will lead to long-lasting changes in the culture of AI
development and help democratize access to cutting-edge AI technology for
researchers around the world.
The model’s ease of access is its biggest selling point. Now that it’s live,
anyone can download it and tinker with it free of charge on Hugging Face’s
website. Users can pick from a selection of languages and then type in requests
for BLOOM to do tasks like writing recipes or poems, translating or summarizing
texts, or writing programming code. AI developers can use the model as a
foundation to build their own applications."
