GPT-J or GPT-J-6B is an open-source large language model (LLM) developed by EleutherAI in 2021.[1] As the name suggests, it is a generative pre-trained transformer model designed to produce human-like text that continues from a prompt. The optional "6B" in the name refers to the fact that it has 6 billion parameters.[2]

Architecture

[edit]

GPT-J is a GPT-3-like model with 6 billion parameters.[3] Like GPT-3, it is an autoregressive, decoder-only transformer model designed to solve natural language processing (NLP) tasks by predicting how a piece of text will continue.[1]

Its architecture differs from GPT-3 in three main ways.[1]

Beyond that, the model has 28 transformer layers and 16 attention heads. Its vocabulary size is 50257 tokens, the same size as GPT-2's.[2] It has a context window[broken anchor] size of 2048 tokens.[6]

It was trained on the Pile dataset,[2][3] using the Mesh Transformer JAX library in JAX to handle the parallelization scheme.[2][7]

Performance

[edit]

GPT-J was designed to generate English text from a prompt. It was not designed for translating or generating text in other languages or for performance without first fine-tuning the model for a specific task.[2] Nonetheless, GPT-J performs reasonably well even without fine-tuning, even in translation (at least from English to French).[8]

When neither is fine-tuned, GPT-J-6B performs almost as well as the 6.7 billion parameter GPT-3 (Curie) on a variety of tasks.[3] It even outperforms the 175 billion parameter GPT-3 (Davinci) on code generation tasks.[9] With fine-tuning, it outperforms an untuned GPT-3 (Davinci) on a number of tasks.[1]

Like all LLMs, it is not programmed to give factually accurate information, only to generate text based on probability.[2]

Applications

[edit]

The untuned GPT-J is available on EleutherAI's website,[10] NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server,[11] and NLP Cloud's website.[12] Cerebras[1] and Amazon Web Services[13][14] offer services to fine-tune the GPT-J model for company-specific tasks. Graphcore offers both fine-tuning and hosting services for the untuned GPT-J, as well as offering to host the fine-tuned models after they are produced.[15] CoreWeave offers hosting services for both the untuned GPT-J and fine-tuned variants.[16][17]

In March 2023, Databricks released Dolly, an Apache-licensed, instruction-following model created by fine-tuning GPT-J on the Stanford Alpaca dataset.[18] NovelAI's Sigurd[19] and Genji-JP 6B[20] models are both fine-tuned versions of GPT-J. They also offer further fine-tuning services to produce and host custom models.[21]

EleutherAI has received praise from Cerebras,[1] GPT-3 Demo,[3] NLP Cloud,[12] and Databricks[18] for making the model open-source, and its open-source status is often cited as a major advantage when choosing which model to use.[9][15][22]
