00:42 — Databricks has released an artificial intelligence (AI) model named Dolly, which companies can use to create their own chatbots similar to those that can be created using OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
01:03 — The Databricks model can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks; it’s being presented as a viable alternative to massive large language models including ChatGPT.
01:17 — Dolly uses an open-source large language model that’s only 6 billion parameters in comparison to the 175 billion for ChatGPT.
01:26 — Databricks believes that models like Dolly will help democratize large language models moving forward.
01:38 — Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi said the future will be that everyone has their own model and they can actually train it to make it better and that way they also don’t have to give their data to someone else.
01:56 — While ChatGPT is targeting enterprises and demonstrating game-changing capabilities, the Databricks approach is decentralizing the generative AI model and putting control back in the hands of businesses.
