Announcing DLite V2: Lightweight, Open LLMs That Can Run Anywhere

<h1>Summary</h1> <p>AI Squared is committed to democratizing AI technologies so that they can be used by all. As part of this effort, we are extremely excited to announce DLite V2 family of large language models. Just like our DLite V1 models, DLite V2 are lightweight instruction following models which exhibit ChatGPT-like interactivity. What makes them different from DLite V1, however, is that the V2 family of models is licensed for commercial use, not just for research purposes!</p> <h1>Introduction</h1> <p>AI Squared&rsquo;s mission is to help make the results of artificial intelligence (AI) more accessible and actionable for everyone. Part of that mission includes democratizing models and other AI resources so that anyone can use them.

The small size of these models means that they can be run on almost any device, including laptop CPUs, instead of being limited to deployment on specialized, expensive cloud resources.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/ai-squared/announcing-dlite-v2-lightweight-open-llms-that-can-run-anywhere-a852e5978c6e"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
