A Game-Changing LLM with Free Beta Access and Innovation Awards

Seoul, Feb. 22, 2024 – Upstage is thrilled to announce the beta release of Solar, its revolutionary Large Language Model (LLM). Until March 31st, developers and businesses can access Solar's powerful capabilities through a free API, unlocking the potential to transform their operations.

Solar is a pre-trained LLM from Upstage, which stunned the AI community in December 2023 by topping the Open LLM Leaderboard on Hugging Face. Remarkably, the model achieves performance comparable to GPT-3.5 while using fewer parameters and operating at 2.5 times faster speeds. Solar also outshined competitors like Llama2, Mistral 7B, Ko-Alpaca, and KULLM in a range of benchmarks, demonstrating the company's expertise in downsizing LLMs without compromising performance.

Beyond its impressive efficiency, Solar API Beta offers several compelling features:

• English-Korean translation: This API-accessible version surpasses industry giants like GPT-4 and DeepL in translation quality, thanks to Upstage's innovative context-aware approach. Solar's ability to understand the broader conversation context, extending beyond individual sentences, leads to superior translation accuracy and nuance.

• Solar LLM Innovators Award: Upstage is fostering a vibrant community of innovators by launching the Solar LLM Innovators Award. Up to 10 companies or organizations will receive $200,000 worth of Solar API credits for showcasing unique and impactful business use cases powered by Solar.

With its exceptional performance, innovative features, and commitment to fostering creativity, Solar is poised to revolutionize the LLM landscape. Upstage invites developers and businesses to embrace the future of AI and experience the transformative power of Solar.
