The authors demonstrate that scaling up language models greatly improves task-agnostic, few-shot performance. They trained GPT-3, a language model with 175 billion parameters, and tested its performance in the few-shot setting. GPT-3 achieved strong performance on many NLP tasks, including translation, question-answering, and cloze tasks, as well as tasks that require on-the-fly reasoning or domain adaptation.

| 2022 | April 12 | Reinforcement learning-based language model | A paper describes a method for training language models to act as helpful and harmless assistants using reinforcement learning from human feedback. The authors demonstrate that this alignment training improves performance on almost all natural language processing evaluations and is compatible with training for specialized skills such as python coding and summarization.

| 2022 | June 2 | OpenAI publishes a blog post on the development of best practices for organizations developing or deploying large language models. The principles include prohibiting misuse of language models, mitigating unintentional harm by evaluating models, minimizing sources of bias, and collaborating with stakeholders. These practices are meant to mitigate the risks of language models and achieve their full potential to augment human capabilities. The authors express hope that other organizations will adopt these principles and advance public discussion on language model development and deployment. The support from other organizations shows the growing social concern over the safety of LLMs.[3] | |||
| 2022 | September | Competition | Nvidia announces the launch of its BioNeMo LLM service to help researchers build new artificial intelligence models for biology.[4] | ||
| 2023 | Marh 14 | Medical language model | Google shares health AI updates including progress on their Medical PaLM 2, expert-level medical language model (LLM) research which demonstrated consistently expert-level performance on medical exam questions, scoring 85%. The company has partnered with Jacaranda Health and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to build AI models that can help simplify acquiring and interpreting ultrasound images to identify important information like gestational age in expecting mothers and early detection of breast cancer. They're also partners with Mayo Clinic with the purpose to extend the reach of their AI model, with the goal of helping more patients receive radiotherapy treatment sooner. Additionally, Google works with partners on the ground to bring their research on tuberculosis (TB) AI-powered chest x-ray screening into the care setting.[5] |
