Watch out, GPT-3, here comes AI21's 'Jurassic' language model

Such is just one of the attributes of Jurassic, a computer program introduced Wednesday by Tel Aviv-based artificial intelligence startup AI21 Labs. GPT-3, of course, is the language program from the San Francisco-based startup OpenAI that rocked the world in 2020 by generating sentences and whole articles that seemed quite human-like. GPT-3 also shocked the world by being kept inside a fairly restrictive beta testing arrangement by OpenAI. AI21 is promising to go OpenAI not one better, but two better, with what it claims are superior benchmark results on a test known as « few shot learning, » and a more open program for beta testers. On the latter score, AI21 is making development use of the program available as an « open beta, » it said, where anyone can sign up to use the program and there is « no wait list.
