Solar API Public Beta Released
Key point
Upstage has released a free public beta of the Solar LLM API, offering translation and credit benefits.
Details
Upstage has released the beta API for Solar. Until March 31, 2024, developers and businesses can use the API for free, and Solar is Upstage's own LLM that ranked at the top of the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard in December 2023.
Solar was introduced as achieving performance on par with GPT-3.5 with fewer parameters, while being 2.5x faster. It also showed competitiveness in benchmark comparisons against Llama2, Mistral 7B, Ko-Alpaca, KULLM, and others.
Key features are as follows.
- English-Korean Translation: Rather than working sentence by sentence, it reflects the full context of a conversation, and was presented as offering higher translation quality than GPT-4 and DeepL.
- Solar LLM Innovators Award: Provides up to 10 companies/organizations with Solar API credits worth $200,000 to discover real-world use cases.
Upstage emphasized its downsized LLM strategy of securing both performance and efficiency through Solar, and proposed that developers and businesses could build new AI services based on it.
