Abu Dhabis Advanced Technology Research Council launches Falcon LLM which outperforms ChatGPT3

'Falcon LLM,' a foundational large language model (LLM) with 40 billion parameters - which outperforms ChatGPT3 has been launched by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC). AI and Digital Science Research Center’s (AIDRC) AI Cross-Center Unit, the team behind building Noor, the world’s largest Arabic language model, built Falcon LLM, which is trained on one trillion tokens.

The model uses only 75 per cent of GPT-3’s training compute, 40 per cent of Chinchilla’s, and 80 per cent of PaLM-62B’s.

Today, the recent advancements in large language models have demonstrated their ability to generate creative text, solve complex problems, and offer significant benefits to billions of people. LLMs can be used in a wide range of applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, content generation, and sentiment analysis.

They can help businesses to streamline their customer service operations by providing efficient and effective responses to customer inquiries. This deep tech is allowing companies and countries to garner huge savings – from improving efficiencies to cutting down labour costs and identifying new revenue streams – simply with its implementation in businesses or departments. Further, on-premises LLMs are ideal for organisations requiring real-time processing and managing confidential or proprietary data. This is critical for safeguarding data privacy to maintain competitive advantage.
