A 535B parameter LLM is being trained openly.
Percy Liang announced it.
It uses 23B activated parameters.
What happened
A new 535B parameter LLM with 23B activated parameters is being trained openly, as announced by Percy Liang.
Why it matters
Open training allows public visibility into the model's development, which could inform future AI research and adoption.
What to watch
The training progress and how the model's performance compares with existing large models.

Open training of large language models is rare because of the high compute and data costs. This initiative makes the process transparent, potentially allowing the research community to observe how a 535B parameter model develops. The use of 23B activated parameters suggests a sparse architecture, which could reduce inference costs. Observing this training may provide insights into model scaling and efficiency, though the outcome is still uncertain.
