Launched in 2023, it allows anyone to access and use these powerful AI tools for free, fostering transparency, customization, and innovation in the field. Unlike closed-source models, StableLM empowers developers and researchers to modify and adapt the code, potentially leading to faster innovation and more targeted applications. This open-source approach also promotes collaboration and responsible development of AI technology.
