Of course, this is an open source language model, and the source code, as well as pre-trained model weights and training recipes, are available on Apple's Github repository at The source code, as well as pre-trained model weights and training recipes, are available in the Apple Github repository. The translation of the official synopsis is as follows: Reproducibility and transparency of large-scale language models are critical to advancing open research, ensuring credibility of results, and investigating data and model biases and potential risks. To this end, we release OpenELM,...
