Google’s Failure to Monetize AI Google has been grappling with a conundrum over how to turn their Artificial Intelligence (AI) research into commercially viable products. In the opinion of many insiders, Google missed an opportunity to cash in on the immense potential of AI technology because the product development team did not understand the underlying technology or how to commercialize it.

StabilityAI, a company that specializes in language modelling, has recently released a new open-source model called stablelm-base-alpha-3b. However, there are concerns over the lack of benchmark results and performance evaluations of the model. The company has focused on marketing the model as transparent, accessible, and supportive, rather than on its actual performance. The StableLM model has been benchmarked against other open-source models using the MMLU benchmark, and the results were found to be underwhelming. Unfortunately, the company has not released any information about the benchmarks or details of the model. The fine-tuned model also does not seem to be working very well, and there are doubts about whether the license restrictions on training data affect the model itself.
