What is OPT?

Large language models, which often demand significant computational power and prolonged training periods, have shown remarkable abilities in performing zero- and few-shot learning tasks. The substantial resources required for their creation make it quite difficult for many researchers to replicate these models. Moreover, access to the limited number of models available through APIs is restricted, as users are unable to acquire the full model weights, which hinders academic research. To address these issues, we present Open Pre-trained Transformers (OPT), a series of decoder-only pre-trained transformers that vary in size from 125 million to 175 billion parameters, which we aim to share fully and responsibly with interested researchers. Our research reveals that OPT-175B achieves performance levels comparable to GPT-3, while consuming only one-seventh of the carbon emissions needed for GPT-3's training process. In addition to this, we plan to offer a comprehensive logbook detailing the infrastructural challenges we faced during the project, along with code to aid experimentation with all released models, ensuring that scholars have the necessary resources to further investigate this technology. This initiative not only democratizes access to advanced models but also encourages sustainable practices in the field of artificial intelligence.
