- Meta AI's Galactica (November 2022), decoder-only language models for science from 125M to 120B parameters, built by the Papers with Code team and trained on 106 billion tokens of open-access scientific text and data such as papers, textbooks, encyclopedias and knowledge bases; it beat GPT-3 on LaTeX equation probes (68.2% vs 49.0%) and PaLM 540B on MATH (20.4% vs 8.8%). Released under CC BY-NC 4.0, with Meta cautioning against production use without safeguards because it can hallucinate.
