OpenBMB

Overview

OpenBMB (Open Lab for Big Model Base) is an open-source community and tool ecosystem for large-scale pretrained language models, focusing on the construction of model libraries as well as the improvement of capabilities related to training, fine-tuning, and inference. Its goal is to help developers carry out the R&D and application of large models with tens of billions of parameters and above more efficiently, lower the barrier to using large model technology, and promote the standardization, popularization, and practical application of the large model ecosystem.

This project is jointly supported and initiated by the Tsinghua University Natural Language Processing Laboratory and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence Language Large Model Acceleration Technology Innovation Center, and has a strong academic research background. The team has sustained research accumulation in natural language processing, pretrained models, prompt tuning, model compression, and other directions, and promotes the construction of the open-source community based on this foundation.
