Snowflake has recently unveiled their new Large Language Model (LLM) called Arctic, which is just as effective, if not more so, than their latest model, MetaCall 3, in tasks such as SQL instruction and code generation. This new LLM from Snowflake comes with a lower training cost, making it more accessible for companies.
Arctic was developed by the Snowflake AI Research team and is designed specifically for business use. It excels in tasks like SQL generation and coding. The model is truly open-source and uses the Apache 2.0 license, allowing for easy sharing of research details and model training methodology.
One of the key features of Arctic is its high training efficiency, achieved through a dense Mix of Experts (MoE) hybrid transformer architecture that combines a dense transformer model with a residual MLP MoE. This allows for the training of personalized models in a more affordable way.
The weights for Arctic are released under the Apache 2.0 license, making them available for both commercial and research purposes. The model will soon be accessible on various platforms, including popular cloud platforms like Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.
Snowflake’s Arctic represents a major step forward in making advanced AI technology more affordable and accessible to businesses. With its impressive capabilities and low cost, this LLM is sure to be popular among businesses looking to improve their operations through AI technology.
