AI21 Studio and Jurassic

AI21 Studio, the new developer platform by AI21 Labs, is making waves with its state-of-the-art Jurassic-1 language models. These models, particularly the 178B-parameter Jumbo version, are a significant advancement in the field of language models. The models are highly versatile, capable of human-like text generation and solving complex tasks such as question answering and text classification. One of the standout features of Jurassic-1 is its unique 250,000-token vocabulary, which includes multi-word tokens. This not only makes the model more expressive but also improves computational efficiency and reduces latency. AI21 Studio is currently in open beta, allowing anyone to sign up and start using the Jurassic-1 models via the API and interactive web environment. The platform also enables developers to train custom versions of the models with as few as 50 - 100 training examples, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Whether you're an experienced developer or new to the field, AI21 Studio democratizes access to cutting-edge AI technology, enabling you to build sophisticated text-based applications. The platform has been used internally by AI21 Labs to great effect, and now it's available for others to take advantage of. For more technical details and evaluations, there's a white paper available. Additionally, the blog posts and documentation provide valuable insights into different use-cases and how to bootstrap a custom model.
