BlenderBot 3 is an AI model developed by McGill University, Meta AI and Mila - Quebec AI (originally Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms) (Canada and United States), first published in August 2022. It works in the language domain, on tasks such as chat.
Training it took an estimated 4.3×10²³ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 175,000,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 1.3B datapoints. Training ran on 128 NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB.
Access: Open weights (non-commercial). Its weights are openly available. It is built on top of OPT-175B. The reference paper has 290 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as likely.
